AWK 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 The school says the cheerleading squad will be replaced with a larger, more diverse group of spirit leaders, a group that will likely don khaki pants and polo shirts. ...............................................................Isn't that called EVERY SINGLE FAN AT A FOOTBALL GAME? Spirit leaders my arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarDlowe 39 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 "There is no NCAA championship," says Assistant Athletic Director Marianne Vydra . "It is not a sport." I've seen and heard some stupid **** said in my time, but that ranks right up there amongst the dumbest of all time. 229210[/snapback] That is a dumb comment, but it isn't totally off base. It should be used to show the NCAA how dumb they are because they do not recognize an officall CFB champion. So if OSU wants to go with that same logic they should also disband football.

SLAG-91 1,483 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 The only way the NCAA is going to officially recognize a champion is if there is a playoff like there is in 1-AA and Divisions II and III. Likelihood of that happening in the near future = the likelihood of me buying the winning lottery ticket while being struck by lightning after picking up a 4-leaf clover. She's being totally disingenuous with her comment and it deserves to be ridiculed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUloggerhead 2,241 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 ... Then there is the way that the university views cheerleading: "There is no NCAA championship," says Assistant Athletic Director Marianne Vydra . "It is not a sport." ... ... For cheerleaders who want to continue doing stunts, they can form a group and register as a club sport with Student Affairs. It's not a sport but they can register as a club sport ... ... Got it. Liberal logic strikes again. Check out the poll on that link -- 90% of respondents are against it. I think Marianne Vydra got a bee in her bonnet and just made this decision on her own.

CircleDrill 178 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I would bet this is about money more than anything. They probably have a scholarship program or something for cheerleading and the only way they can get rid of the scholarsips is to get rid of the program. Also, there is a liability issue and an insurance issue. And, from the band world, I know how much trouble organizations like cheerleaders and majorettes can cause for the powers-at-be. There are lawsuits, discrimination charges, racism charges, and everything else every year, and this is in HIGH SCHOOLS. This same issue has been going on recently at Auburn. You can have everything from the NCAA controling it, the NAACP gets invovled, women's organizations get involved.... Who wants that? By doing this, Oregon State has more control over it. They don't have to take quotas or get sued for their "fitness policy" (a.k.a. weight limits) or whatever they place on the squad. Now they can do whatever they want. I'm sure they will still have cheerleaders in some capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
