It’s an open secret that the NCAA hates BYU women’s sports

I’m not even sure it’s an open secret. It’s just a fact.

Constantly under-seeded, excluded, given harder brackets, etc.

This isn’t a persecution thing. It’s just that nobody wants to have to move games off of Sunday to accommodate BYU.

The BIG 12 isn’t going to rescue us from that.

I think that once the old guard is gone from byu, you’ll see byu play on Sunday if the tournament requires it.

Who qualifies as the old guard?

Jesus. When He is gone, BYU will play on Sunday. Mark it down.

Good point, sabbath day and other commandments are so passé.

Cougarclaw

5/15/22 6:29pm

The commandment is to keep the sabbath day holy. It’s not “Don’t play a sport on a Sunday.”

I dont think Tom Holme and Kevin Worthen have final say on that change

Do you also consider working on Sunday to be breaking the sabbath?

RdF3

5/15/22 7:02pm

Yes. Though if the ox is in the mire, it's ok to break

Do you consider playing a game on Sunday a necessity?

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

Working on Sunday isn’t a “necessity”.

Tell that to a police officer. Or a firefighter. Or a paramedic. Or a nurse

Why not choose a different profession if your work requires you to break

So if he works on Sunday he isn’t keeping the SDH? Good to know those that work

BYU should do exactly what they want. I don't think they should bow to

It is for me, as a doctor, and if you are sick in the hospital.

That’s my point. You do what has to be done on Sundays. That includes playing in the tournament if you have to.

RdF3

5/16/22 9:17am

So your point is both NICU nurses working on Sunday and Tournament play HAS TO BE DONE because they're comparable and

You don't have to. You can make the personal choice.

Well I hope you’re around in 30 years when it happens.

I'm not even 30. So yeah, I should be. You're so obviously wrong here.

You’ll probably be flabbergasted to learn that the church requires people to work on the sabbath.

NCAA scrolling down RPI rankings & come to BYU. "Ok, is there some narrative we can use to leave them out?"
