This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

A little help please by Tbone
First let me say I am neither a hater or lover of BK. But every time ND plays in a major bowl and gets whooped I read about all the deficiencies in coaching. True Kelly has brought a lot on himself, no argument there.
But my question is:
How different are the admitting requirements to get into ND vs. what is required by the NCAA? ND's pond is quite smaller for recruiting is it not?
If ND does not have the same ability to sign the same players that Alabama, OSU, and Clemson do, there should be a gap in talent and results different from the Big 3. What percentage of starters at the other 3 schools could have been accepted at ND? Is it time to play by the same rules and really start to become competitive?
