I understand why people want privacy, but when a resignation occurs for "personal reasons", I cringe while waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Since this happened the team has gone 14-6 and moved up from 7th in the conference to 4th and clinched a spot in the conference tournament.

Sadly the 42-10 softball team got left out of the NCAAs. Unfortunately with softball probably being the WCC's weakest sport there is zero margin for error. In this case it essentially came down to a single 1-0 loss in April to LMU. Find a way to win that one and instead of tying LMU for first they win the league and autobid. There is no wcc tournament.

Also sad that this BYU team was better than last year's which did go to the NCAA tournament where they eliminated two other teams, including the host of their regional and came close to getting to the super regional. The Big 12 can't come soon enough.

That sucks

That sucks

It really does. This team would have done some damage in the tournament. The current system is in there in large part to protect the P5. They tried to schedule aggressively outside the WCC and had more of those key wins than last year's team. Their rpi this year at around #50 even with some bad wcc teams dragging it down still would have been 4th best in the current Big 12 and they had 3 wins against the next best team, Iowa State. They could have competed very well in that league and their inclusion in the NCAA tournament never would have been in doubt.

My 11 year old plays softball and has asked me about going to the college world series for about as long as she's known about it. OKC where it's always played is driving distance for us and I got some tickets this year. When I told her we were going this year, after celebrating for a minute her first question was, "is BYU going to be there?" Ouch. At least a few weeks ago I could answer that it would be tough but possible. Oh well, It will be so great in the near future when BYU teams from so many sports will be coming out here often and not far from us.
