69, I work in Title VII Compliance. I'm very well aware of the law. As SaveOD pointed out, you can't discriminate against people. The EEOC Compliance manual is very clear that identity-conscious employment efforts are not forbidden. There's a reason why the NFL has never gotten in trouble for the Rooney rule.

But by all means, file a claim with the EEOC. I work with them regularly, they will laugh you out of the room.

Nah. We tried to laugh him out of this room and it didn't work.

Political thought, disability status, age, sexuality, urban/suburban/rural hometown, ethnicity, Do you need any more examples?

Hi coach. Thx for taking the interview. So, let's get down to it. How old are you. What's your political alignment, your sexuality...and where did you grow up? Think it thru, or this interview might be over. You see, we don't want best qualified, we want...diversity!!

Coming from a diverse background is a qualification.

Lotsa white victimhood, too.

Found this article enlightening and that Big East could become the powerhouse league in college basketball as they are taking the lead in hiring minority HCs.

https://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2020/03/03/its-very-disappointing-the-number-of-black-head-coaches-continues-to-fall-at-college-hoops-highest-level/

I found this excerpt from the article quite intriguing:

"There's no excuse not to take your career in your hands," said George Washington head coach Jamion Christian, a 37-year old who is already on his eighth season as a head coach at his third program.

One of the issues that Christian identified was the amount of time that recruiters are asked to be off campus and on the road.

"You're not at practice three days-a-week, so you're not learning how to run a practice or how to run a program," he said. "You're not learning the ins-and-outs. When you get a [head coaching] job, are you prepared to succeed?"

The answer, Christian says, is to learn on your own. Read about the game. Watch video. Learn a new offense while on a flight. His goal is to one day establish a training center for assistant coaches that get put into this situation, a place where all of this can be drilled into coaches.

Wow! Sounds like the guy we had for 7 years, except for the last paragraph.

Christian is an impressive guy. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in the BE one day.

And here I thought 2021 we were going back to being post-racial.

its all the lefties know.  If you disagree with someone's opinion call them a racist and you automatically win the argument.  And I do think a majority minority conference is a good thing.

Yeah, that's it.  Great insight as always.

I swear the first time I read this there was a don't that's now been replaced with a do.   The subconscious coming through the first time around?

FTFY

This is a weirder response. I don't think the point you're attempting to make is as clear as you think...

Here we go, I'll take mine with just a little salt, thank you.

Blue, black, green, white, or red, ...if you're speeding, you're speeding, if you're shoplifting, you're shoplifting. If you find the cure for aids, you found the cure. If you are a war hero, you are a war hero. Trash is trash and merit is merit. End of story, aina?

Except not how real life works old, not much older than me, man.

Yeah, pretty boys normally agree...

Straight from Google:

What is virtue signaling example?

Virtue is associated with fighting for social justice. An example of virtue-signaling could be a long Facebook post or Twitter thread that self-righteously lectures people on the awfulness of some social phenomenon (e.g., racism or misogyny) or makes a show of praising a cause (e.g., affirmative action or veganism ).
