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.

Attorneys have other skills and strengths by ACross
Litigators and even transactional types. Like telling adversaries, counterpartes and wrongdoers to go shit in a hat, and to hold such people to account..
So I don't really thing we need a corporate type in these times. Jack's problem was not that he was a lawyer. It was that he was small time, self absorbed, and prioritized currying favor and rubbing elbows with adversaries who ate his lunch. He also prioritized revenue whoring over all else at Notre Dame.
I have heard very good things about our new AD from people very close to him, so I am hopeful. I do think he is going to have to tell the SEC and ESPN and the ACC to fuck off in the near future.
