UR, website now only showing league games with CMS cancelled. No PS,GF or LF listed anymore

[OzJohnnie]

Given schools will join CMS, in order to save money why would a kid not enroll at a JC online and only take one class at his SCIAC school...etc...
It makes no sense if there is not campus activities.

When all of this started, I thought a remote fall semester would torpedo enrollments at private schools across the board.  I'm not so sure now.  Even if/when schools go remote this coming academic year, students would not get equivalent educations taking courses at a  JC.  The curriculum, the quality of faculty, and the pedagogies are just not the same, even if the modalities are.  Is the difference worth many thousands of dollars per semester?  Not for me to decide, but I disagree with the idea that all of a sudden Harvard = UofPhoenix.  Or that Redlands = SBCC, to keep it regional.

Pre-covid (before every question became insanely political and nothing can be discussed in good faith) there was quite a bit of discussion about online schooling.  On the plus side was access, convenience, cost, etc.  On the negative side was that it seems the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.  In order to excel at online training you need skills of discipline, application, self-motivation, etc.  In a classroom setting it is possible for an instructor to give a hand to a student in need.  Online it's pretty much every student for themselves.

Anyways, that's where the discussion was pre-covid.

As it should -- the SCIAC announced some weeks ago that fall sports, if played, would only be conference play.

His supporters got a different letter, I wont post but...If you want to help UR, they ask for his 3100 supporters to only post positive social media comments. Such BS, they never could prove intent yet raked him across public coals. The damage is done, donors pockets books will tighten up.

Maynard reinstated as Redlands coach!

"...a dozen impassioned letters demanding Coach Maynard's immediate termination from persons who do not know him."

Look how much trouble 12 self-aggrandizing, virtue-signaling, know-nothing Twitter fools can make nowadays.

Great news. It's ridiculous Coach Maynard had to defend his good name and 32 years of hard work and dedication to the university over something so small and trivial. Thanks to everyone who supported him.

Exactly. Bunch of children occupying adult bodies.

 I'm delighted that my alma mater has reinstated Coach Maynard. Doubtless, his future players will continue to benefit from his mentoring life skills as well as football skills. Although my participation in Redlands sports was much earlier, our coaches helped significantly to prepare me for leadership as military officer, especially when serving with an air rescue squadron in Vietnam only a few years after graduation.


From my era the wide range of active alumni inludes the CEO of a major commercial bank, senior foreign policy advisor to President Reagan, senior foreign policy envoy for President Clinton, treasurer for the state of Colorado, and the founding Director of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. We still regularly attend Homecoming Days or smaller regional reunions and make donations or endowments. Never have our divergent political backgrounds/attitudes held the slightest relevance to how deeply we respect each other's achievements and how very enjoyable we find each other's company, which is why I find it curious that some folks frequently use this football Board to propound their political or cultural viewpoints.There's a plethora of online politics forums available for fervent argumentation, and so I commend sagacious Pat Coleman for the amount of time he must spend monitoring all the Boards to obviate discussions from drifting too far afield.




"RFB" is to be lauded for being instrumental in galvanizing significant alumni support for the reinstatement of Coach Maynard, which has been a welcome ray of sunshine that's raised my spirits a great deal!

Pat had to shut down the politics board because one guy was making most of the posts.
It is good that he keeps things under control.

Well said and thank you. It was the correct and only acceptable outcome for Coach Maynard to be reinstated.

DawgsOT57, Olddog and countless others truly stepped up to drive the support forward. It's just really great to see how many people care and attached their names and reputations to help vindicate and clear Mike Maynards name.

Glad he was reinstated. It sounds like administration is now attempting to "soften" the issue by requesting you alum to "play nice" and not say "any bad words" about the situation. So,...."you want you to play nice, do they? Quote, lame, IMO.

The only potential problem I see is that if you alum decide to withhold your financial donations to the program (and I wouldn't blame you if you do), will they be petty and vindictive enough to discontinue the program? 

[DawgsOT57]

If anybody has a copy of the letter in question, I'd love a good laugh this morning.  I get that they don't want there to be gloating.  They have tried to do this as quietly as possible, which I suppose I can't blame them for.  I have to say, there isn't much satisfaction in this.  I think Bill Belichick said "I hate losing more than I enjoy winning."  It certainly feels like that in this case.  It was a completely pointless exercise in PC stupidity, and has left behind a mess.  Now these turds think there is blood in the water, and will be circling Coach Maynard hoping, even baiting him into a misstep. 

Again, I don't envy the position the University found/finds itself in, but at the end of the day, Coach Maynard has his job back, and the University did the right thing.  But I can't believe the effort that it took.

There will be no athletics competition at Pomona-Pitzer this fall.  So that's both of the Claremont programs out for the fall.

Dominos are starting to fall. Remaining schools can always play each other twice (home and away) and maybe add Azusa Pacific and University of San Diego to fill out the schedule of they are up for it.
