BJU to Participate in Intercollegiate Athletics

Participation in intercollegiate allows these Christian atheletes to go outside of the holy huddle and show Christ to others. It is also an important part of preparing these young people to live for Christ in the real world. Another great decision coming from the leadership at BJU.

On Women’s basketball

Is there a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skort] skort for that?

Shorts are more modest than skorts and a lot less dorky.

I’m glad to hear the JONESES are keeping up with the SMITHS. Congratulations to BJU. Go BoJos!

Will they retain the http://www.bju.edu/collegian/index.php?issue=101&article=1050] “Swamp Angels” mascot/moniker?

Dang it, Greg you beat me to it.

The game I would look forward to: BJU vs Liberty in football.

The pre and post game trash talk would be interesting as well! :)

Then again … never mind …

BJU vs. BYU (either in Idaho or Utah)

They could be in a league:

• Baylor
  
• Liberty
  
• Pensacola
  
• BYU
  
• Etc.

I’m a BJU grad with a son at Liberty. I’m afraid the Liberty v. BJU matchup would have to wait quite a few years, even if BJU ever played football — Liberty is an NCAA Division I school for football (and other sports). That’s a whole different world.

BJU has excellent facilities for soccer and basketball.

What will be fun from a historic point of view is when we have:

BJU vs. Moody (I’ll be cheering for BJ - my dad’s “alma mater!”)

I’m thrilled for multiple reasons - This will be great for BJ, especially the students. This is excellent for the alumni. I actually think that this well help the public image of the university - not that it hasn’t been positive in many respects already. This probably is not necesarily a major motivation for the administration, but I personally believe this is great for the continued improved relationships between what I call Type A, B and C fundamentalists. Our theologians know how to get along by way of ETS. Our jocks will be able to get along because of the NCCAA. Now all we have to do is to come up with a group that will allow our musicians to get along……..well maybe there’s a group that will help the constituencies to get along……well, this is a good start anyway - Outstanding! Hurray for our Team!

Straight Ahead!

I hope the tail doesn’t start wagging the dog as can be seen in a lot of schools.

It is pathetic if this is what will buy student’s and alumni’s support for their school.
