I have no issue with this for a religious school. My daughter applied to 3 christian schools during her application process. Each had questions about faith and religion. I'm sure they reject applicants based on their answers. If you chose to go to this type of school, you need to accept their requirements. If not, go somewhere else.

It does make it hard on the coach.

I wonder if the coach had to pass a similar faith test before he was hired?
Edit: I didn't realize there was a link in the original message. It seems the new chancellor/president changed the practice in 2013, many years after the coach was hired.

The ugly conclusion to Sutton’s historic career left a bad taste in the mouths of Oral Roberts

I am sure a Post writer won a $2 bet by getting that line in the article. Would have been better if they said. Its sad for his career to come to this end leaving a bad taste...

Oral Roberts is apparently on the MVC radar to replace Wichita State. Makes that job more interesting -- if not just as tough -- if they are.

And I have no problem with a religious school having those requirements. My problem is there tends to be a fair dose of hypocrisy -- and not just extreme examples such as Baylor -- that goes along with all of the faith-spouting.
