@WrestlingSNL@MrPatMineo They really don’t seem to care about the athletes or how badly it reflects on the university. They just figure it will blow over at some point and they will move on building a golden calf.
I don’t know how those admins can go to the Big 12 and not want to be part of it going forward. It is probably the first tournament they have ever been to. CBU is fortunate to be a part of it and they are walking away so they can buy a starting 5 for a mediocre basketball program.
@LWOSVanHouten@jasonmbryant@calbaptist Shane Griffith already did it and it helped save Stanford wrestling, so better schools and programs have already tread these waters and come out better for it. CBU leaderships handling of this whole situation has been authoritarian. Not a good look.
There are a lot of Tim Cowens on that squad. Coach Moore has created a culture that values and builds Godly young men. It’s an uncommon achievement in this era where NIl and conference alignments are more important than integrity and character. Where your treasure is, your heart will be also. It remains to be seen where @DrMicahParker heart is.
What’s crazy to me is that CBU is a Baptist university. We don’t make any big decisions without meetings, corporate prayer, more meetings, and a vote. I wonder if @DrMicahParker prayerfully considered this or it was just a God-less business decision. Nothing in the way they have handled this is Christ like.
@ufan9295761@Jason_Borrelli@CBULancers What are the chances he was a basketball player? Just like in HS, winter sports are always competing for the same resources.
Well said. The question should be “how can we” and it should involve donors, staff, parents, athletes. CBU is a Christian college. This should have been given prayerful consideration and the athletes should have been treated as brothers in Christ. They had the press release ready before they even spoke to the team.
Let them NOT wear them. Let them mourn and protest and not go softly. They are good kids they are not burning down cities or turning over cars. They just want to quietly protest this decision. Let them. It would not have diminished CBU in any way, but this administration’s Behavior absolutely has.
@john_avenger218@nimblephatty@dsonoiki I am not a lawyer, but you are saying that if you shoot at someone and miss it is not attempted murder since nobody was injured?
@cwebbonline We went through something similar when Obamacare was first passed. The insurance and Doctor that Obama promised we could keep if we wanted to went from $475/mo to $1,475 with a much higher deductible. We switched to a healthcare sharing ministry and have never looked back.
