Again, the NCAA is discriminating on the basis of belief.
Either let Liberty in, or move the tournament games back to North Carolina (and kick out BYU for that matter).
People's opinions on Liberty's may differ. That's fine. Don't apply a different standard to them, though.
I'm fine with your proposals, but I'm still confused what D80 was trying to make a point of saying.
If Christianity is a problem, they should also kick out TCU, Notre Dame, Duke, Boston College, etc. Or is it the not playing on Sundays thing? And I think NCAA's position on North Carolina will soften if Texas pushes those laws through. Texas is too big...
I'm not sure either. Hopefully he can clarify!
The schools you listed are pretty much only Christian in name. Baylor would also be one, but they were perfectly happy to look the other way when Brittney Griner was winning Final Fours. Liberty dares to put some of their beliefs in practice (at least, they claim to, I have my doubts).
We'll see. Sooner or later people will realize the NCAA is discriminating by letting men compete on separate teams.
Agree that Liberty should not be discriminated for being proud of Christianity. However, I would loathe to share a conference with them due to their extreme rules against holding hands. I would be scared to get a ticket/fine for holding hands at a Tech Liberty Sporting Event.
I'm trying to remember the specifics. I don't know if it was the NCAA itself or just a group of other presidents that reacted strongly to Liberty's interest, citing LU's insistence on biblical marriage and acceptance of creation teachings. I could be wrong - if you have better information I'm all ears.
The NCAA hasn't done anything to discriminate against Liberty to my knowledge. Like Bearpaw said, maybe you are confusing the NCAA with the Belch, but I also wouldn't say the Belch discriminated against them. The Belch simply invited Coastal Carolina instead for reasons I assume we can only speculate about.
