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.
Post being replied to
I think that I've been pretty consistent with my stance by jt
as it relates to the NCAA and it's member institutions and their selfishness as it relates to these types of issues. I definitely side with the players on these issues and I absolutely believe that the NCAA/minor league football cabal has responsibilities to it's players (as does the NFL, mind you).
That said, there is no clear link between football and the issues that Brandon appears to be suffering from based on the information provided. If someone has additional facts to consider, I want to hear them. Until then, this sort of article comes off as hysterical.
