The Twitter: So you are retiring? What's next?
The Commish: I'm going golfing, boating, reading, writing, playing, traveling and relaxing.
The Twitter: Surely you will keep a hand in the college athletics field.
The Commish: I don't know yet. And stop calling me. . .

As I look forward to the long holiday weekend, I realize it's forever weekend for me! Today is my last day as the Commissioner of the ASUN. Best to all of you that return to work on Wednesday. To those who have reached the retirement starting line before me, I'll see you soon!

[ASUNCommish @ASUNCommish]

I'm ready! Can't wait to read the next Conrad Keane novel. Will be signing off as @ASUNCommish later today.

A very happy retirement day to my friend @ASUNCommish. Ted is a giver, and finally he can start taking in the sun and stats and maybe even some whiskey and golf. Let's go, Stump! @agamegolfmedia

Reading great stuff about The UAC, new FCS college football group built by @ASUNSports & @WACsports

United Athletic Conference WILL have an AQ into @NCAA_FCS playoffs. NCAA may list it under ASUN this coming fall. Someone tells you otherwise, they don’t know.

[ASUNCommish @ASUNCommish]

Very honored to be invited to participate. Thanks to @EKUBaseball & @EKUBeachVB for the support. Catcher never had to move his glove. Totally embarrassed he caught it on the first bounce. @ASUNBSB @EKUSports @EKU_SAAC

Thank you @ASUNCommish for all your support!!

[ASUNCommish @ASUNCommish]

Great pleasure to speak with Kristen Eargle @CS_Connect1 Glad I had the change to note that the United Athletic Conference (football only built by ASUN & WAC) WILL have an AQ to the FCS playoffs. @ASUN_Football @WACsports

EKU beach players volunteered to join @ASUNCommish for a pic. They said more people need to follow BVB and specifically EKU BVB!

Thank you @ASUN_MBB and @ASUNCommish !! The ASUN provided Liberty a great league to play in and I enjoyed the always progressive and student athlete first approach. Together we advanced the league to a spot we had 5 top 200 teams this year.

Go Eagles!
Any questions?

[ASUNCommish @ASUNCommish]

Let You Be Right-Part VII

Scheduling. Polls, Rankings, NET, record count. Not as much as head to head top 50 results. @FGCUEagles can't get those games. Teams envisioning at large bids don't WANT to play FGCU! Why risk it?
The bias is baked into scheduling.

Who controls that?

[ASUNCommish @ASUNCommish]

NCAA WBB Committee
Voters=10 administrators
Methodology=Vote. Many criteria influence voters. Nitty gritty. Quad performance. NET. RAC.

Let You Be Right-Part V

I got disengaged a moment ago, right in the middle of my twittering. There is a way to view a whole string of Tweets. Had to learn that to get my full train of thought back.

This string will have two more parts. Part VI and Part 9. Not 9. Parts VI & VII
