I would say a heavy suggestion by the conference.  Let’s see if Tic Price agrees. 

And just like that, the  outrage puzzle has been solved (and I’m not being facetious - the best solutions are the simplest).  

Someone may have already posted this, but "they" should mandate the National Anthem be the last thing before tip-off so all have the chance to be present. At that point, there are no more excuses.

Are you for real or have you been trolling us all this time?  

Same here, lol.
 

Like I have said, it seems like a no-brainer, as far as respect goes, but it is what it is and probably won't change, I'm sure being required to be present for the National Anthem will become another "controversial" issue.
Like I have also said, I won't lose any sleep over this one, lol.

I appreciate both of your stances.  The libertarian in me doesn’t disagree with Hippy, and the father in me has instilled in my son how to behave when the anthem is played.  It’s just that 80-90 percent of the time, they are still in the locker room.  

And let’s face it, that is a business.  Will Wade isn’t now making $700k a year at McNeese due to how his team behaves during the anthem.  Which is probably why he is using that time to final prep his team as well.  Right or wrong, those guys are coaching for their livelihoods and they all are trying to get the best use out of literally every minute of the day pregame to try and get the win. 

it's crazy, considering the whole "fake news" craze, and all of the "low information voter" insults that have been thrown out over the last 6 or so years.  Because so much of what gets the right outraged is either misleadingly presented or completely false these days.  Don't get me wrong, there's plenty to be upset about, but it's tough when half of what you read is patently false in some way.  

100% agree.
It's what we call here a "Reaganism".

Standing is not the issue.  Mulkey, for anyone who knows anything about her, would never allow kneeling.  I would think anyone with any connection to Baylor would know that.  The issue is the practice across college basketball, men’s and women’s, of being in the locker room going over game plans, praying (for LSU at least), etc., when the anthem is played.  Just like apparently Iowa was as well last year when they played.  The issue is clickbait articles talking about a team “walking off the floor” during the anthem (while attaching a video showing nothing of the sort because that was a bold faced lie) and dolts being gullible enough to fall for a headline and share it across social media until it becomes “fact.”  The issue is calling maybe the most politically conservative coach in the sport “woke” because again, well clicks.  But such is the “low information” society we live in I guess. 
 
And for the record LRF, I would prefer the teams being out there standing when the anthem and school songs are played, just like in football, baseball, etc.  I’m guessing that will become the norm now and that should have been the story, not the deceiving one that has been circulated.  So perhaps some good will come of it. I’m not even an LSU fan and am glad we get to see another game or two of Clark.  But if anyone did an ounce of research before posting this trash, they could indict almost every (if not literally every) D1 CBB coach in the country.  

Where are our constitutionalist and 1st amendment folks. 
You can be mad, upset and not attend the games, but revoking scholarships? 
I think these Judges are stepping on the constitution limiting Trump's free speech.....I feel I would be a hypocrite if I didn't consider this anthem situation a 1st amendment issue as well.
--for the record, I think it's disrespectful 

Reading comprehension is key.  If you are still lost, I can’t help you.  As a friend of mine once told me, stop arguing basketball (or in this instance, its customs) with people who were picked last in PE…

Thank you.  That’s all I was trying to point out. And I happen to agree with you.  

I’m not singling out a particular team in my comments, I just think it’s not too much to ask for all teams to be on the floor for the National Anthem.  I agree, lots of teams do this with no ill intent, LSU just seemed to be the ones to bring national attention to it.

Fake news!   Just kidding.  Good one!

Well if you are going to be wrong about what happened by falling for clickbait articles’ titles attaching a video proving exactly the opposite, at least be wrong with the holder of the high office of the state where the university is located (can’t imagine a politician jumping in trying to get some political gain - weird!)
Again, in the games I’ve attended (SLC, Big 12, SEC, WAC, ACC, Conference USA, AAC), very rarely is EITHER team on the floor for the anthem.  It’s just the norm in college basketball.  Not saying it’s right and I’m sure it will be changing.  But to make it an LSU and Mulkey thing is just uninformed, “low information” arguments.  

Agree, and especially tough on single moms with no support.
It's ridiculous, work 5 days like everyone else does.

I can only say this. The 4 day school week for 2 working parent families is a tough thing to sort out.

That’s no lie. She hits NBA 3s and then some. 94 points is NBA numbers and 41 points is phenomenal. I hope they win it all. 

I’m certain Mulkey would agree with you.  
 
And I agree 100 percent about Clark.  She is something else.  I never thought I would see the day I would rather watch the women’s tournament than the men’s, yet here we are. 

Caitlin Clark….. what an athlete. Glad she played while I was alive. 
I’ve gotten past the NA thing. Just don’t kneel in protest. 

More "misleading" news.
Starting to feel like the "right" has become the "left" in this department.
smh

Reprimand is a reprimand.
Each side has a story, Same for Frankie.

This is someone that deserves a shot… IlI don’t think they will give it to him but this man will be a head coach sooner than later IMO @AggiesAreWe
