Oh yes gentelmen, this could be a Title IX legislative disaster of epic proportions.Back in April 2009, the NCAA added Sand Volleyball as one of its emerging sports for women---along with the other revenue-risky sports of equestrian, rugby, and squash.
As you can imagine, allllll sorts of snickering and bickering started over sand volleyball.....
The New York Times is reporting today that the NCAA will vote soon to kick sand volleyball off the list !!!! W T F
And guess who is leading the pack??? The BigTeleven ! along with Duke, Stanford, and Clemson.
Our own volleyball coach says this to the NYTimes:
"But Mark Rosen, the volleyball coach at the University of Michigan, opposes sand volleyball because he says it puts schools in cold-weather states at a disadvantage. “If a school in the south has both programs and one in the north doesn’t, it forces me to lose a recruit or ask my athletic director to spend money where he can’t spend it elsewhere,” he said.
Rosen said many northern schools will end up playing a majority of their games on the road because it will be too cold at home to 
play outdoors in March or April.
Schools that want to override sand volleyball also question how many new scholarships will really be created. Initially, cash-strapped schools may ask indoor volleyball players and coaches to play sand volleyball as well.
“When you start double-dipping, you’re not adding,” Rosen said."
Like Baseball, Softball, and Track don't need to find warmer climates to play in come spring!?
Oh no, this is a much bigger issue than weather.
This is an affront to women's sports!!! This is clearly one more slap at female athletes everywhere, and must not be tolerated!!

If they can play football in a domed stadium than surely they could do indoor sand volleyball!
And I am sure Andy could design an appropriate maize and blue bikini for the uniform.
Exactly !!!
Gentlemen, we are just one step away from women's naked jello wrestling as an NCAA sport. We must unite and back sand volleyball or lose the prize we have been stealthfully working towards since 1972.
Remember history before it's too late:
First they came for the bowlers
and I did not speak out
because I did not bowl (too many seasons without six wins. Of course there's the other use of a bowl, but this is a family blog).
Then they came for the Curlers
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Curler (even though a woman with a broom just looked natural).
Then they came for the couch-burning cooler poopers
and I did not speak out
because I did not poop and burn (unless I had nachos with extra jalapenos).
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
whettie, you, by defacto have just killed the discussion.....
as you are quite right, there will be no one to speak for you ;-)
Whet
I am laughing out loud in a crowded starbucks and no one but me knows why.
I am all for sand bikini..... Errrrr volleyball
"by defacto have just killed the discussion....."
Just de factos, maam.
"I am laughing out loud in a crowded starbucks and no one but me knows why."
No worries, Andy. The patrons will blame it on espresso poisoning.
The mental image of you laughing out loud in a Starbucks got me to laughing out loud.
Nice pic....... Uhh my arm is numb. I can't catch my breath!
Tom C...... You need to learn to use the other hand.
("whettie, you, by defacto have just killed the discussion.....")
This discussion will never die. If you have a topic more important than girl on girl action, I'd sure like to hear about it.
Ugh. What have I done?

Mr. President, militant women are out to destroy college football in this country.
SHEPHERD
Is that a fact?
GILL
Have you been following this
situation down in Atlanta? These
women want parity for girls' softball, field hockey, volleyball...
SHEPHERD
If I'm not mistaken, Gill, I think
the courts ruled on Title 9 about 20 years ago.
GILL
Yes sir, but now I'm saying these
women want that law enforced.
SHEPHERD
Well, it's a world gone mad, Gill.
