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.

This is a college football problem. by mocopdx
Blue bloods all over are having these issues. Attendance is down en masse. Florida just sent out a promotional email to push $10 tickets to play Samford (edited from the original post when I thought this was Georgia).
Swarbrick is an ass and the university's disgusting price gouging is certainly a contributing factor, but I think there are outside forces at play here that are affecting attendance around the nation. I'm not sure if it's temporary. To be clear, though, there are things ND can and should be doing to help mitigate the issue, but of course the leadership in place right now isn't keen to do those things.
