I don't think Peter Smith or Stella Sampras could care less about this creating any competitive advantage. Do you think Manny Diaz at Georgia thinks this is going to kill his recruiting? There are plenty of smart power 5 coaches on this committee that probably approved this decision and my guess is that they did this because it was for the good of the game. The funny thing about colleges electing officials to run the ITA is that they do, the college coaches elect the officials. The colleges elect officials as well to the NCAA. The one person who keeps positing negative comments on this blog should get their head out of the mud- because it is sure stuck in the mud!Get your head out of the mudnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-60954650071011147642016-04-01T10:49:32.365-04:002016-04-01T10:49:32.365-04:00Oh Come On

In addition, the headlines are about partnering with ASU and I have seen many headlines over the past 30 years of ITA and Princeton. Tremendous advertising and recruiting advantage for them. The ITA said they would help ASU grow the game in the community and so I'm sure they directly favors ASU compared to the other schools. They didn't advertise that way for Princeton. So yes, there is an advantage in which there should not be from a "monopoly" college organization like the ITA who is suppose to help everyone equally! How can there not be a basis for ASU?<br /><br />It is a shame the colleges do not elect the high officials in the ITA who govern them. Inside politics and longtime friendships hire these individuals then the college coaches and players have to suffer the consequences.Stuck in the mudnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-42117396028612974412016-04-01T00:31:29.929-04:002016-04-01T00:31:29.929-04:00my son played for asu in the fall of 2007….the pro...my son played for asu in the fall of 2007….the program ws dropped at the end of the 2007-2008 season.

Of course that's why the ITA is moving to AZ and it's a smart move. The ITA was at another college for over 20 years at Princeton University in 80s and 90s. It's a non profit and this is probably rent free. No brainer. The ASU coach is on the board and widely considered the most ethical coaches in the country. The "ITA" is the coaches from all over the country and it really doesn't matter where the staff works. How many top 25 finishes did Princeton have from 1980-2000?<br />@Sun Devil - the rumor is they are bringing back men's tennis.Oh come onnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-84604006676800978182016-03-31T12:52:09.403-04:002016-03-31T12:52:09.403-04:00Arizona State University dropped their Men's T...Arizona State University dropped their Men's Tennis Program, Coached by Lou Belken, after the 2007-2008 season.<br /><br />http://archive.azcentral.com/sports/asu/articles/2008/05/13/20080513asucuts.htmlSun Devilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-11257907728909167192016-03-31T10:07:00.614-04:002016-03-31T10:07:00.614-04:00The ITA is partnering with ASU to grow the game?

The ITA seems to do what is in their own personal best interest and not what is in the best interest of the student-athlete, the most important people! <br /><br />This is a scary time with what the ITA is trying to accomplish with messing with he scoring format and playing favorites with a major conference school. Isn't the ASU coach on the ITA Board? Once again - very convenient. <br /><br />We are already seeing enough dirty politics in this election year, it's about to get much worse with the ITA.ITA / ASU Favoritsmnoreply@blogger.com
