    Absolutely. One of every six or seven men on the whole campus is a football player. That's scary.

    The Missouri Valley, the Summit League and the Horizon League are basically interchangeable now.

    The American announces its basketball schedule. Both national CBS games involve Wichita State. If nothing else, the Shockers will be making much more in TV dollars. A lot of their conference games in the past were shown only within Kansas on Cox.

    More exposure for Gregg Marshall's wife to make a horses ass of herself.

    Hopefully the ins and outs of this can be discussed with fighting about politics because I find Liberty's attempt to build a big-time football program fascinating. Apparently C-USA and the Sun Belt turned down $24 million offers from Falwell Jr. to join their leagues.

    Jerry Falwell Jr. called out C-USA, Sun Belt for intolerance, and he might have a point

    I generally really like Minium's work, but I think he's missing some pretty obvious differences between "religious" schools such as SMU and Liberty. Just because a school is affiliated with a church doesn't mean it has policies that can be seen as discriminatory or hostile against LGBTQ students.

    There are also plenty of people in academia appalled Liberty hired Ian McCaw.

    I do think the politics are relevant, given how Falwell stuck his neck out for Trump. I'd say the same if Falwell were a Clinton supporter. I'm assuming that any athletic conference would prefer its members stay away from politics with a 50-foot pole.

    Honest question, can you be openly gay or transgender and be a professor at Notre Dame?
