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.
Post being replied to
Son graduated from D3 school. Wanted to play by Indy77
football, two D3 schools and one D1AA school recruited him. The D3 school with it's scholarships and awards made it the price of the only other state school option he would consider if not playing football. At that point it was no brainer given reputation of the school and its rankings.
Had a remarkable four years, received a fabulous education, accepted job offer during Xmas break sr. year. Enjoyed a great football experience having started 4 years and elected captain and team MVP his senior year.
He paid off his student loans a few years back.
At times, I think I had just as much fun as he did what with visiting campus for various events including home game tailgaters which were always outstanding and the people were the best.
