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.

It’s not a valid comparison. by Irishintheville

BK has and continues to get most anything he wants. He really has no excuses for not producing a national championship in 11 seasons. He’s been woefully outcoached in most any game that mattered. He’s being propped up by people who are putting themselves above the University by catering to their own self serving interests, which is at a minimum a great disrespect to those who built the football program.

It also doesn’t help BK that he has deflected blame on gross mismanagement involving academic fraud and a student death. If you reflect on it all in totality, it is embarrassing and quite sad. The money thrown at the program and simultaneously moving the goal posts by lowering expectations and watering down the schedule is criminal. So please don’t compare BK to Lou, Ara, Devine or anyone else for that matter.
