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 disagree with it by acrossdmiddle

I think athletics are part of the educational mission for the student athletes and the schools should do their best to allow their athletes to train and compete even if many or all of their fellow, non-athlete students aren’t on campus. Schools can meet 80-90% of their obligations to regular students via distance learning but largely fail to deliver any value to their athletes without being together on campus. With fewer students on campus, there is an opportunity to make conditions safer for the athletes. If that can be done in a financially responsible way, then I think schools should be able to have their athletes on campus training and competing (while otherwise distance learning like their fellow students).
