Almost guaranteed it was NOT a team decision. They would have all given their left nut to play at Duke.

They could give a rats ass about HB2.

That executive order is a steaming pile of $iena by a grandstanding joke of a governor scoring cheap political points.

[B9j2j6s]

So does this mean we are out of the tournament at Mohegan?

[ZLK]

politics and sports shouldn't mix unless it's the players themselves expressing their beliefs

[DanesRGood]

Albany not playing a game in NC is not going to change this law. Glad I don't live in NY anymore. Not that my state is much better.

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

Say that to Muhammed Ali

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

Or on a more pragmatic tangent, say that to SBU who used politics to build some pretty damn nice facilities.

[UAalum72]

Wyland just said on the news that instead of Duke, Albany will travel to Penn State,as part of the same tournament.

Yeah, and this is why they do mix. Money talks. Public state universities don't have much of an option I suppose.

[UA'08]

I turn to sports so I don't have to hear about politics and now we have this.

[Dane Pound]

On the up side, Penn State is a name opponent that we have a shot at beating.

Agreed...lets do this.

Former Boston U head coach Pat Chambers has been at Penn State since 11-12. Led the Terriers for 2 seasons in the America East.
