    We really must agree to disagree. I believe we were wrong to participate in the 1936 Olympics in Hitler's Germany & I think we would be wrong to play Kim Jung-un's Korea in soccer. You shouldn't legitimize those kinds of evil. Maybe pseudoscience is a lesser evil than tyrannical governments, but it's still an evil. No legitimate university should be associated with the teaching of ideas that are so demonstrably wrong.

    This isn't about being 'academic' peers. It's about academic legitimacy. An institution that requires its biology instructors disavow the fundamental theory of biology is philosophically & academically bankrupt. Honest question. Would you object to playing North Korea in the Olympics?

    Any association with Liberty (or Jim Jones or ORU) legitimizes that institution. And puts us on their level.

    I have no problem with BYU, ND, or even Liberty offering religion classes. That class is appropriate for a private college - especially one affiliated with a denomination. I have a great problem with any school teaching pseudoscience. I have a great problem with any school that teaches religion, in the form of creationism, while calling it science.

    Pseudoscience is a bad thing.

    Yes, he has talent. But if he's going to embarrass your program you don't want him.

    You're probably right that weed should be legal. That, however, isn't the point. The kid broke the law. Someone in his position should religiously follow the law - for his own best interest and for the interest of his team.

    A lot depends on his attitude. If he acknowledges he screwed up & sincerely wants to get his act together then give him the chance. Everyone of us has been given a second chance at one point or other in our lives, he shouldn't be any different.

    If at the end of the season I honestly feel the team has improved I'll say it was a successful season - regardless of number of wins. Hopefully, playing better will result in more wins, but that ain't necessarily true.

    I'm not sure but it may be inappropriate to communicate with the young man before he graduates from ASU.

    Is it significant that BV's table shows that only UNT is running a deficit?

    Deep & Salsa Verde, I have no problem with playing Baylor (though I wish they would get their acts together), or BYU, or Notre Dame. Those schools haven't rejected science. Liberty has. This isn't about politics - this is about educational philosophy. Baylor, BYU, & Notre Dame are main-stream universities - they teach accepted history & science - legitimate science. They don't insist their professors accept creationism. They don't insist their religious interpretations be believed by everyone associated with them. They allow their faculty & students to think for themselves - even if that means questioning authority Liberty can require their students, staff, & faculty profess any dogma they want. But UNT & other universities shouldn't legitimize Liberty by associating with them in any way - including athletics.

    Playing Liberty in football would be like the USA playing North Korea in the Olympics. We shouldn't tarnish our image as a legitimate institution of higher education & we shouldn't lend credence to such refuges from the enlightenment as Liberty, ORU, & Jim Jones U.

    Is there a reason FIU wasn't on Brett's link? Like, maybe, have they dropped back to the Sun Belt?

    Four years from now I'm confident we're all going to be very happy this young man chose our school.

    Conference pay-out per school just behind SEC and ahead of everyone else. http://lubbockonline.com/news/sports-red-raiders/sports/2017-06-02/big-12-announces-record-revenue-distribution-348-million#

    Never! If UNT90 can do this, so can I!
  19. GTWT
    Almost as happy as WB scheduling Liberty U
  20. GTWT
    I'd fire him before he schedules Trump U.
  21. GTWT
    When I read the topic heading I thought we were already lobbying to fire WB. I had my checkbook out.

    cUSA = Rice, UTEP, SMiss, Marshall, LTech, Odom (none of these are great but they're at least not an embarrassment to be associated with). Belt = Monroe, Troy The worst of cUSA were also in the Belt
  23. GTWT
    The article is right-on concerning the F_U programs.
  24. GTWT
    You're right. Science is a search for truth. When they fail to meet that standard they are pseudo-scientists.

    If you were young Mr. Martin how would you read it?
