That's part of Belmont's agreement with the Horizon League. Look, Wright State tried to get Division 1 games, but this system is completely broken.

5 home and homes for Belmont over a certain amount of years I would think the H/H would be over a two year period with that one HL school.

What is going on at Wright State? Sounds like another arrest. Yeesh!

Well, they'll probably get picked higher in the preseason rankings than Milwaukee, the program that wears the perceived black hat.

At the time I posted it, he had been completely removed from the roster for the past seasons he was on the team, but was still on team photos and PDF stats. And that much was said in the post. So my fault was I didn't save evidence. Apparently WSU's athletic department caught wind and put him back on past rosters. Sorry I didn't do a screen grab. You don't need a retraction from me, you need an apology from your athletic department. Sounds like you already know that, though: Wright State announces senior forward Tavares Sledge has been "released from the men’s basketball team for violation of team rules." One year too late, IMO. He was on stats and he was in the team photo, as I said in that post. Sorry, I don't mince words for a place that enables people like Tavares Sledge. GB BB is Back brought up on the Green Bay board that this isn't the second but the third time that Sledge has gotten in trouble. Are you pissed at me, or pissed that your athletics program was so devil-may-care about bringing a player back on the court one month removed from spending 19 days in jail for child endangerment. This is a guy who locked himself in the backseat of his car with his child and didn't follow police orders to come out, so they had to bust the windows of the car door. Our athletics program may have a revolving door in the AD chair, but we don't cheat (self-reported APR, no cooking the books) and we sure as hell don't condone hitting women (Torre Johnson, kicked out of school before the sun came up). Sunshine is the best disinfectant. Your athletic department should come clean on what Sledge did to get kicked off. And you should point your anger elsewhere. If I didn't want you to see it, I wouldn't have posted it period. You're all over other boards, you were going to see it. I didn't think I'd give you the satisfaction of being Message Board Police as you've been every other time I've tried posting stuff on your board, so let's not act like you'd have done anything but send me an angry private message and delete it from your forum. Even though PantherU is a blog, I've given you your retraction since I didn't grab screenshots of the site. I didn't retract anything else I said. I hope you're happy with the work done by the enablers in your AD.

The Raiders athletic department has gone to some pretty ridiculous lengths to cover up what’s going on in plain sight and stop people from answering questions on the matter.
It is impossible to find Sledge on any of the rosters on Wright State’s website, although his stats are still on the PDF and his face is still in team photos. I guess they don’t have anyone with photoshop skills to wipe him clean from history.You are a complete hack and also spineless since you decided to post this article around the other HL message boards but didn't have the balls to post it on Raider Nation. Go back and look at past WSU rosters on our athletic site. You might notice a common theme when it comes to athletes that either transfer or are kicked off the team. They are ALL immediately removed from the current team's website. When they leave on their own or are kicked out, they no longer represent WSU so they are removed from the website's current page. They are not removed from the website for past seasons when they were part of the team. Sledge is still listed on the roster, has his own biography page, is in the stats, and is in the photo album for the last 3 seasons when he was a member of the team. He is not going to be on the 2014/15 team so he was taken off the roster. If you did the smallest amount of research you would know that. Your hack job of an article is unresearched BS like most of what you write. A real journalist would retract that article and write an apology, but we all know you aren't a real journalist Jimmy. Interesting that you attack Jimmy and ignore how spineless Coach Donlon was for enabling a lowlife like Sledge. Seems your energy is being mis-directed.

The thing is, there's this whole post where 80% is about the university's handling of the situation and 20% is that it looks like their SID removed Sledge from past rosters (it did) and is now putting it back up (it did). Yet, Big D-Lete is angry because I said I saw something on the website? Definitely where the priorities should be.
Spineless, a hack? Seems to me like words you should be pointing at your athletic department.
P.S. I also don't get where this journalist thing comes from, since it says all over PantherU that it's a blog.

Ultimately, there are now two levels of college basketball programs:
Those that can control their schedules and those that can't.
There's nothing low-majors can do to change this.
Conversely, mid-majors can alter their plight if their leagues ever decide to help each other.
