    re: rooting for or against Oral Roberts

    It's hard to separate the team from the school. If you dislike Oral Roberts the school, you probably dislike Oral Roberts the team. But, that is the same problem considering any university with a strong religious component - Catholic (say, Georgetown) Mormon (BYU) or Evangelical Christian (Air Force).

    I follow the Mid American Conference a bit and Oral Roberts puts together a good team year after year. Plus, as a Pacer fan, I fondly remember point guard Haywoode Workman, so I can root for the team and still not care for the school leadership.
