Interesting. K State protested some of the lineup changes. I'm interested in this statement.
"had these line-up violations been challenged by the opposing coach, under precedent set by this and other ITA committees, the final result could have involved the nullification or overturning of all or some of the dual matches in question."
Looks like Arkansas got to keep the 6 wins and the coach only got a letter of reprimand by the ITA. Wonder what will happen to the $15,000 Arkansas paid TSU. Though I do understand TSU is massively underfunded. I actually think the TSU coach is doing a good job (if we ignore this incident). TSU had gone years without any wins and a full roster. With this coach, they're getting conference wins.
My stance is that I'm ok with teams scheduling multiple matches to be above .500 IF the regular season calendar were set that way. To do it after a conference tournament and to do it six times is too much. The athlete's welfare was definitely not in anybody's best mind.
