This is a silly discussion. In reality there is only one team in the nation effected and it is easy to accommodate. Stanford vs BYU should be a great game.

it's kind of funny I didn't mention it concerned with BYU at all - to your point it's one school, and easy to accommodate.
But we have seen youth tournaments where teams have signed up, knowing the tournament schedule, and then just skipped the Sunday semi-finals or championship games. In once case we received a forfeit win in a championship game, in another, we played a team in the Finals that had advanced off a forfeit-win in a morning semi-final game, and came in less tired than our team.
My hope is that (youth)tournaments wouldn't allow teams to sign-up who can't commit to playing the pre-determined schedule.
This wasn't in Cali, it was in what our conservative brethren would describe as a "more" open-minded jurisdiction.

Mormons are cool, except Romney.
Believe it or not @espola, I was baptized in the Later Day movement back in 74'. My mom & dad had many kids and the church felt sorry for my parents and they generally wanted to help us out. Keep in mind 6 of us were adopted as was my mother. Family tree history was an issue. Also, my older sister loved Pepsi and my dad loved coffee. We weren't allowed any of that in those days. My sister was the first to rebel. She would drink Pepsi in front of our family home leader elder brother. He was very gracious and tried to get me to be a leader. I would go to bed at night fearful of what all the young boys have to do at 18. Anyway, It's true, no play on Sundays. At 14 my mom said it was my choice if I wanted to continue going and I never went back because I played sports and I would 100% not go on a mission. Being honest with you all. I went to a conservative Christian church later and they said no play on Sunday as well. I was cool with that rule until my dd started playing soccer and pastor game to my house to check on us. It didn't go well because it came down to soccer vs church. No way God demands 10am on Sunday and 10% of your income I told the fulltime pastor. We left and we still love God and believe everyday is Gods day and we should all try and be nice to each other during the other days during the week too.

No, it's just religious freedom.
Nobody is stopping them from practicing their religion. At the same time, all other NCAA schools who don’t practice that religion shouldn’t be expected to have to jump through hoops to accommodate them. I’m betting that if a Muslim school joined the NCAA and wanted accommodations during the month of Ramadan, Christians wouldn’t be singing the “religious freedom” tune in solidarity.
Forfeiting is freedom. Forcing is not.

I bet he/she wouldn’t mind if trans men were able to play on the women’s team though.

That would be fine, except Muslims, their camels just shit in the field.

Happy Thanksgiving
Final 8, here we go...
UCLA vs Florida State
USC vs North Carolina
Washington State vs South Carolina
Stanford vs BYU
Pac12 rep’d very well... in my view, it is not totally surprising that WSU is here… Even in their losses in the conference, they were absolutely relentless in their effort, and their size and speed up top has certainly provided them with what they’ve needed so far in the NCAA tournament.
USC vs North Carolina is interesting... North Carolina has of course some elite players, but also a lot of depth and USC will have to contend with that. On the other hand, North Carolina will have to contend with truly talented USC attackers who definitely have a gift for scoring goals, hope they are healthy and good to go.
UCLA vs Florida State... rematch of early season game where UCLA came away on top.
Tough to beat Florida State twice, however UCLA is clearly humming right now and the reverse of it’s “tough to beat Florida State twice” is it’s also tough to beat UCLA once. Looking for a big game from the Bruins.
Stanford v BYU ... I got to watch BYU a couple times, they really took it to Pepperdine, the one team that beat Stanford this year, and it’s clear that so far the BYU attack has been very impressive. This might be the challenge for Stanford, holding that BYU attack off early and getting a goal first. I think if BYU scores first and can defend, it could be trouble for the Card.
Amazing slate of games tomorrow, and it’s a shame they’re not all on national television.

As expected the Bruins are like the Golden State Warriors of old. Turn it on when it counts.
The real competition begins when they take on Stanford or BYU.

Stanford 2-0 over BYU. BYU having trouble with Stanford’s speed and skill.
Macario 2 goals and showing why she might be ready to ascend into the WNT starting line-up

I thought so as well, but right at the last minute the PAC12 channel quit saying that they were going to show Stanford Women's Volleyball and showed soccer instead. I do not have a PAC12 channel subscription either. Glad that I got to watch the game (and that Stanford won) but we were all very tired of the announcers and the camera crew by the end.
