Long Beach State Sports : Re: Last night's WBB score: UCLA 115 Ca Poly 28

My knee jerk response regarding playing P4 schools is to agree with LBHoops - screw them! - BUT, why not take their money to go to their place, being fully aware of what may result?

Also, as part of the breakup proposal: a student-athlete can transfer among the new P4 cartel schools once, and following the old NCAA rules. If a non-P4 cartel athlete transfers out to a P4 school, they can't come back and play for a non-P4 school. P4 student athletes would be free to transfer to non-P4 schools. Perhaps there should be a prohibition on that - forcing student athletes to choose between going for the money or purely an education.

As much as I hate to say it, if the money schools want to pay us to come and play them, go and take their money. We have enough trouble raising money as it is, so let's take some of theirs!!!

It looks like we are in a whole new world where sportsmanship is not valued, and money is the top value. The NCAA fell apart with NIL and currently has no control. College sports need a huge overhaul that separates the haves from the have-nots. The Mid-Majors should form a new division of the non-P-4 schools and tell the SEC, Big10, Big12 and the ACC to go to hell. The Mid-Majors should stop playing the P-4 schools, but they dangle money before them to play at their arenas and get totally embarrassed.

Excellent post by David on ucla women’s basketball FB page

I was embarrassed that the Bruins coach chose to pile it on instead of playing subs the last 3 quarters. It made me sick to watch UCLA starters whooping it up over girls from a much smaller school trying so hard but blessed with with inferior skills and statures. When adults don't teach humility and sportsmanship to our young people, our society suffers. And if that's too PC for anyone, so be it.
