re: How about this Auburn controversy

The gist of this is what level of leadership is involved in pushing a certain religious system that could make players who do not want to be involved feel slighted or be treated differently.

I don't know exactly what I think specifically on this issue. I don't think it's the same as general "prayer in schools" or the government sanction of a certain religion (which is nothing but a show anyway and it is laughable to act like boilerplate governmental religious nonsense is in line at all with Christian principles).

I think college sports are a unique crossover as coaches are helping a kid deal with becoming an adult in a way almost no other "government employee" does. And, like it or not, to a lot of kids (especially in the south) part of their personal life is some level of Christianity. So, the question is how do you deal with that without hurting/alienating other kids who don't want to he involved with that. Personally I think that means individuals become involved in local churches, not having a religious advisor type on your football payroll.

I think there are probably a lot of schools who have figured that balance out that you don't hear about. And that is why you don't hear about them.
