Football schedule vote

[Brandon]

The MIAA could figure it out if they wanted to. The 5-5 vote says half the conference doesn't want to. What's hard to get about that? I realize you don't agree, but I think you get it.

I was told the vote would have passed 7-5 if UNK had been allowed to vote via proxy. I have also hear conflicting stories about LU. One said that they abstained since their vote would not matter without UNK's. The other said that LU's president was unable to attend as well.

I was also told that a push existed to let UNK/LU vote but the schools voting no were adamant about not letting that occur.

So you have no valid points to make and have decided you want to mud wrestle instead\?

Weird choice.

We are all too heavy for his weight class.

But have the big boys really figured it out or just figured out how to chase the money. I think it's the Big10 that has teams that hardly ever play each but they have a conference championship game to solve the issue should it matter.

My understanding is that they were voting on a specific proposal that purported to have "figured it out." The split vote could be more indicative that the No's didn't find that particular proposal to be the solution they wanted.

5 is not half of 12. I thought you were the spreadsheet/numbers guy?

^^no better than the last one.

Or a conference call or a video conference.

Maybe they could even use one of those phone thingies that everyone has?

brilliant reply.
you do realize that typa resp & attitude is how you get to a 5-5 stalemate w/ no solution to a problem we all agree exists.
there is a solution, fewer members.

I'm not here to vote or change your mind.

I do agree about fewer members. I even have some in mind.

Dumb rule ... Presidents/Chancellors are important people that have more urgent matters to attend to than a football vote. Ridiculous this "rule" even is around. A VP, AD or Faculty rep should vote for the school. Really not that hard

Lame rationalizations aren't working. Try something else.

You are going to try to sell that lie in a conference that has no process for determining a true champion. GTFOH

The conference bylaws require a presence to vote. The conference rules do not allow for proxy votes.

Why, Mule fans are far more concerned about the men's basketball coach than non conference football scheduling.

Football+anything=important
Basketball+anything but football= pfffft!

[Predatory Primates]

I was kidding about fans and alumni, though. It's the politicians (U presidents) who are to blame.

[Predatory Primates]

they were clear cochamps. the point isn't getting one champion. the point is a competition where everybody competing for something gets to actually do so against each other.

i think they're lazy w/ respect to scheduling.

there is a solution but it isn't screwing up the only thing they do right.

pfft. the proposed "solution" bastardizes the cc.
i'm over the jackasses running this league.
i'm mad at them all.
i would have voted no to this particular proposal.
