The thing that I find extremely interesting is the following quote regarding the addition of Tulane:
On Tulane joining the Big East:
“I was not pleased that we issued an invitation to Tulane without any diligence to what effect that would have on our basketball product, the draw on our RPI and other such things. I was disappointed that I wasn’t able to participate as a member of the conference in the deliberation that went into adding that. There might be well articulated and very deep reasons why you would do it otherwise. But dog-gone-it, I’m not concerned about that. I’m concerned about making sure that Marquette is in a position that it can take advantage of the great investment it’s made in being successful in basketball.”
It sounds like the decision was made by the football schools. And I've already heard that UConn was not part of the vote. So WHO THE HELL VOTED THEM IN?!?
Exactly? What the hell happened there? What was Aresco thinking?
