    Join the Big East, Park FB in the MAC

    Why not? The MAC had Temple for years. UConn is a good enough brand that it would be beneficial to the MAC. Why wouldn't they take us?

    The bottom teams in the American need to get better

    Saying they need to get better is easier said than done. These schools have limited athletic budgets, are losing a lot of money, and the money they are spending is going to their football product. They don't have the resources to "get better" at basketball. They are "all in" for football, and...

    Join the Big East, Park FB in the MAC

    Some people here like to bash the Big East, but let's face it, that conference is still real nice. The Big East Tournament looked great on TV, their deal with Fox is incredible (I know, ratings are still growing, but they get those weekend fox national games and the station will continue to...

    A10 performance

    The rpi is fine. The formula is simple. What was your record? Who did you play? Who did the teams you play play? Where did you play those games? Simple and fine for tournament selection. Margin of victory, tempo, etc.., have no place in the formula. And that's a good thing. Remember, the rpi...

    A10 performance

    And if Dayton or St. Louis win today, then suddenly the Atlantic Ten will be 3-5 with a sweet 16 team and will have outperformed their seeding (expected to be 3-6 with no sweet 16 teams)

    A10 performance

    I totally agree that umass was way over seeded. They played the rpi well this year, but the team wasn't very good But is it really worth arguing about? Once you get to the 6 seeds through 10 seeds you are talking about a crap shoot and match ups mean more than seeding. You're generally talking...

    A10 performance

    I wouldn't call the Atlantic ten's performance bad, nevermind worst in history. Based on seeding they should have gone 3-3, and been eliminated by tomorrow. They went 2-4, and will probably be eliminated tomorrow. How is that terrible? St. Louis was favored and won The VCU game was the big...

    College Clock Management Makes Me Sad (PC-UNC)

    They should have got the two for one. They tried, but played it too cute. Very fun game to watch. Cotton was superb.

    So Boston College is rejecting Jim Calhoun?

    I would love fox, but they aren't going to extend themselves for the American. They have some inventory. If we get in that mix, great. But if not, which we must assume, there are alternatives. Let's hook up with cbs. At least 3 national weekend, games, and tons of CBS SN games. Every uconn...

    So Boston College is rejecting Jim Calhoun?

    That's what the Bristol Boys are pushing these days? Is Jay Bilas' forehead vein popping out of his head as he says how awesome BC is compared to Uconn? We should have taken a tv contract with CBS Sports. Their college basketball coverage is great, they run the tournament, if we could be their...

    Practical Solution to the American Conference problem

    The problem is, we have to do stuff out of conference to get the respect. We aren't going to get respect by going 14-4 in the AAC. It is not happening. And the thing is, we don't need to shock the world out of conference, we just need to do something to distinguish ourselves. We don't need...

    Practical Solution to the American Conference problem

    The conference situation is bad, it will only get worse with the departure of Louisville. We have to assume we are here for a while. What do we do? My solution: We have a dozen out of conference games. We enter the pre-season tournament, we try to grab a good out of conference opponent, but we...

    Big East Attendance Blues

    If you are watching the college hoops pregame show on fox national for the Xavier v Marquette game, you would disagree with the above. This is a serious national commitment that I wish we had. It is a long term plan for the building of that brand. But like I said above, in my opinion it is a...

    Big East Attendance Blues

    I am not pining away for the new big east. But I do think they have a real good thing going on. I enjoy their college hoops show with Austin Croshere and I think they have an exciting future. We are going to be able to continue to make the tournament. And that is a good thing. We will have...

    Big East Attendance Blues

    It is not happening, my friend. I too would prefer the big east. We are the only state flagship school in the conference, the rest are secondary state funded schools with more commuter oriented institutional missions. The big east schools are all private and we would be the only state school...

    Big East Attendance Blues

    Villanova has only played one game at the nba arena so far. They have three of them coming up (Marquette, gtown, St. John's) Their attendance will be better this year than last year. Marquette and gtown have been disappointing this yr compared to what they have been lately. I credit their dip...
