        Perhaps, but that is clearly contrary to ND's mission. - Slainte Joe, 2014-04-14, 13:56
        
        Agreed and that is why I choose the example. - Grantland, 2014-04-14, 14:05
        
        Look, I love a good slippery slope argument. - Slainte Joe, 2014-04-14, 14:08

        I'm not worried about that. - Slainte Joe, 2014-04-14, 14:24
        
        How about oversigning? Could that happen at ND? - Grantland, 2014-04-15, 06:29
        
        Nope, and not having one is a selling point I think - Jack, 2014-04-14, 13:54
        
        I don't think you can rely on "tradition" for this argument. - Slainte Joe, 2014-04-14, 14:29
