Non-Key Tweets

[Patman]

That's how it's always been though. Women's basketball digs for the tournament suck compared to the guys digs because not many people care about women's basketball, they typically don't bring in money.

are hotels selected by the NCAA or the schools? If its the schools that can be a Title IX issue, if its the NCAA then it isn't. Now, sure the schools could be using the NCAA to do their dirty work but so it goes.

It's funny ... no body wants to leave or add conferences but it's all happening anyways. Well except for UConn. Cal and Stanford will eventually get the votes.

Not only is that a non-key tweet, it's fictitious. They could join a conference that doesn't play football and play football only in the ACC, but as all conferences have basketball they couldn't join the WCC or Big West for olympic sports and play hoops in the ACC. And why in the world would the ACC dilute their basketball brand and greatly increase their travel to add Cal.

Football only is a theoretical possibilty. Football and basketball is not under current rules.

We're just not that useful to conferences I guess. I'll just keep enjoying our trophies and parades while they count their TV money.

This is not how Title IX works. By your logic, women's sports should have full contact practices in pads just because football does it. Here is the text of Title IX:



A really strong case will be made that requiring 2000 mile midweek travel is discriminating against female athletes based on their sex/gender. It may not be a slam dunk, but this is one of those cases where I would much rather be the plaintiff than the defendant. And it is not out of the question that a judge could issue an injunction to prevent the schools from moving conferences.

The easiest solution for the NCAA is to simply amend the rules to let football be in separate conferences.

If male athletes are being forced to do it, I don't see how there is a credible argument (if you don't care about credulity there is always an argument) that it's discriminatory to make women do it.

This was how Ed Cooley talked about UConn hoops. Willard also i believe.

I respect the honesty.

I hope they don’t get in… I would love for uconn to form a football conference with them… and keep our basketball in the big east

who should be in a PAC football conference along with UConn?

Also BC

I'm talking when UConn came back to the BE. Cooley and Willard were pissed about it. Makes sense from their end.

I think Willard was joking.

I don't think so. PC and Hall were having good success recruiting the northeast but maybe you are right.

Here's his quote for those who want to make their own judgment. To me it's tongue-in-cheek, especially when you hear how complementary he is of Hurley in the program.

Having just seen this for the first time, I didn't get that same feeling. You can respect Hurley and the school and still not want them in the conference. I didn't see a smile, smirk, giggle or anything else that would make me think he wasn't being completely honest. We have done some damage with the local recruiting, so him voting against us would make perfect sense.

Coaches dont get a vote but there was an article that didn't sound like he was kidding at all.

And look, they both got big raises after UConn came to town. Boats being lifted.

It comes down to proportionality. If 100 male athletes fly charter and 100 fly commercial, but only 15 female athletes fly charter and 185 fly commercial, you could have a problem.
