On Tuesday, March 31, 2015, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo issuedExecutive Order #144 prohibiting state-funded or state-sponsored travel to the state of Indiana. In accordance with the executive order and in solidarity with its stated intent to "promote fairness, protect the welfare of the citizens of the state of New York, and combat discrimination,"

Wow and wow.

I doubt our R gov will do that but I wouldn't be surprised if our school president announces the same thing.

It also means that UB, Albany, Binghamton and Stony Brook will not be able to send their coaches to the Final Four using State money.

I never understood how this was ok to begin with. Do football coaches go to the playoff games or championship?

Well they run their Coaches conventions around these events so it isn't just coaches going and watching basketball... They do have meetings and things like that around the games.

This is all totally foolish, nothing but liberal crap being shoved down our throats. The people protesting are the intolerant ones because they refuse to accept any other opinion other than theirs to be correct.

Let's take a look at two scenarios...if a black person owns a bakery and a fool walks in to order white cupcakes with red letters saying KKK, that owner has every right to refuse his business. In the same situation, if a very religious person owns a bakery and a homosexual couple walks in to be a pie and a wedding cake for themselves, that person too has the same right to say I'll sell you pie but cannot sell you a wedding cake due to my beliefs. In both situations those customers can take their business elsewhere, no harm, no foul.

This entire story has turned insane due to the intolerance of liberals having any sense of reason.

Now another liberal governor jumps into it trying to fire up his base as the fool in the White House is trying to make a horrible deal with Iran that actually will affect lives in the Middle East and one day here in America and yet this Indiana thing is what is making news.

Geez, what ever happened to quality journalism versus the liberal tripe we have now?

Simple solution. Buffalo forfeits the matches.

Why?

Ball State had nothing to do with the measure passed. In fact, President Ferguson came out against the measure.

What gain is there to boycotting matches and games if the only people you are hurting are coaches (who likely don't support the measure) and student athletes (many of whom aren't even from Indiana)?

Well played! Really an apple to orange comparison though.

So Buffalo needs to forfeit matches because the governor of New York won't allow them to travel to Indiana? Thats not really fair to the student-athletes.

Going to do something that isn't done often enough on a message board. You're right and I was wrong. It would be unfair to the student-athletes.

I also feel it is unfair that Ball State should have to find a neutral site, which is where my frustration comes in. Silly politics steals the headlines once again.

My tweet when this started with the MAC

"Great just what my sports needed... More politics"

Don't disagree with this at all. Ball State and their student-athletes have done nothing wrong.

It is just one of those weird situations that you never really thought would happen

Throw Buffalo out of the MAC if they can't travel.

Or vote 11-1 to toss BSU out...

Re-invite UMass.

P.S. BSU men's basketball isn't very good, anyway.
