That rant aside, there are really two ways to deal with this: 1. The court of public opinion - go to the news with it. or 2. The court - a decent law student could probably handle the case

And unless we know the correspondence of what is requested by people that are independent contractors, we really need to take a step back. I do not see anyone suing college conferences that clearly have not hired any women on the Men's side and hire men all the time Women's college basketball. Even then I believe a lawsuit would be hard if there was a court case in either situation and I doubt there is much of a paper trail to prove that women are not hired systematically. Part of what we do is tribal and people tend to make a business decision as to where they spend their time away from home. Peace

But I'm the type who would bring this out in an association meeting so the rumor would either have to be verified or discounted.

Like I said earlier, if this were my association I would stand up in the middle of a meeting and bring this to full light by asking for an official response concerning the rumors. It is either true or it is false.

If, by "the right thing", you mean Associational Suicide (which would be the result of disregarding the "request" from the Schools) then I would think not.

Here's my take on "associational suicide". 1. -tell schools women are qualified and we are sending them...no more or no less women than in past years. Seems like the right thing to do. But if you do the schools may change associations. 2. Go along with schools and tell your women officials they're qualified but not going because they are women. See Covington v IAABO. Can be found on net. Covimgton, woman official, claims discrimination for not being assigned mens games. Maybe your women will just walk away and forget it. However, if they don't, your association will be a defendant since you have involvement in assigning. The commissioner has put you folks in quite a trick bag. I think I'd try door number one if I were you...actually see earlier post on what to do. And do it because It is the right thing to do... Last edited by BigCat; Sat Nov 22, 2014 at 01:10am. |

I agree. And if they wanted to they just should have done it without saying this in the minutes of a meeting. Commissioner has put schools in the same trick bag...

The school didn't say it in the meeting. The schools still maintain plausible deniability. Frankly, if one must do business with people like this to stay in business, it's probably not worth the headache. You can't trust them.
