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.

These kind of conversations will be commonplace now:
“So, Mr. Big 12 2nd Team QB, I haven’t seen your name affiliated with any endorsement deals this year. Your school not taking care of you? Transfer here and we’ll have something lined up before fall camp even starts!”
“Really, Mr. Elite 11 QB, you’re considering ND? Yes, yes, it’s a fine school, but what kind of endorsement deals do they have lined up? Our last 3 starting QBs all had deals before the end of their freshman years.”
I really think people are fooling themselves if they think this kind of recruitment (for HS and current college players) won’t come to dominate the sport. This was obvious from the beginning.
