Were Nevada's and Fresno's Actions Unethical?

Were Nevada's and Fresno's Actions Unethical? Answer yes or no. If you want to justify your answer then feel free.

They wouldn't be able to hold a temple recommend, I'd definitely say that.

[creekster]

They appear to eb to me, but I lack sufficeint info to know for sure.

[falafel]

I said yes, only in the sense they apparently agreed to one thing while making plans (or at least getting into position) to do another thing.

That's just your right hand talking... you should wait and see what your left hand says.

given the info you have (I've seen your proposed time line of events in Katy's thread) would you consider them unethical?

i voted yes. But it does rely on me filling in some blanks.

I would say no and I strongly feel that way. I feel as though Nevada and Fresno were making their situation for their athletic programs better. Their is no debate on which conference is better. The WAC minus BYU football is still much worse than the Mtn. West in all sports. When all is said and done, Nevada and Fresno need to look out for themselves and they did. At the end of the day they improved their situation.

No one disputes they were looking out for themselves. Remember, Bernie Madoff was only looking out for himself. The question was whether, like Bernie, they did so unethically.

[USUC]

I voted yes. But then again most college football programs across the country are unethical. It does look like they played the two conferences against each other with insider information. CSU apparently broke this right? Where did they get there info? I'm guessing it came from one of the WAC schools.

No. It wasn't unethical for BYU to leave/try and leave the MWC eaither.

Acting unethically is not the same as acting in one's best self-interest. Clearly what Fresno and Nevada did was the best thing for their teams. That doesn't make it ethical.

I just don't understand how it was unethical? Did they do something illegal like Madoff? When that meeting took place last Friday between the members of the WAC, did they have an invite? I don't think they did or they would have never agreed to anything.

[Flystripper]

when you have an agreement and you make that agreement knowing that you are going to break it as soon as the ink is dry you are acting in your self interest but you are also unethical.

So will someone explain to me why it was unethical?
