Don't pretend to be obtuse. Also, easier to compete without moneybags in the league.

HBCUs don't have gay rights as a priority and are not so elitist as the Ivy league and the AAU schools. So again, I don't see how it makes it more "palatable." If you were talking about UMass, I would understand.

The moneybags obviously is an issue.

I'll Google up some links later, but besides being anti-gay, liberty also has a reputation for being racist.

I'll take your word for it. That would make sense.

Apologies for saying you were pretending to be obtuse.

b/c that's not what this is about. If it was universities wouldn't be lining up to take guarantee paydays from Liberty's football program.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

That verse isn't appropriate to the topic in any way. It was about trying to prevent someone from being stoned to death for being unchaste. It doesn't suggest that institutions shouldn't be criticized for social injustices.

Jesus himself criticized injustices. So have many other men of faith If they were around today and if they saw racism, they would be condemning it in harsher terms than those written above.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Or is it :
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Perhaps we should all:

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
