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.

I don't see how that would clear Title IX. Also, I think by VaDblDmr
that might be a little unfair to the SEC. Vanderbilt is an overall top 20 institution. Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Texas A&M are AAU members (ND, incidentally, is not). Georgia is a top 15 public and top 50 overall national university. Basically, I'm not sure the SEC is ready to attempt to declare their football programs as professional and somehow, even if it were theoretically possible (which I have my doubts about), artificially separate them from their respective universities. I suspect at least half would have no interest in doing that.
