From Blaudschun's blog "Last fall he talked openly and candidly about the ACC expansion and how he opposed the addition of Connecticut as a potential ACC addition. He talked about ESPN’s influence and later was forced to publicly apologize for some of his statements–which was a tough one for...

After more thought, if the scenario does play out, I'm now inclined to let BCU rot in hades and pay for their crimes and bring UMass into the conference. Initially, I was hung up on old Big East stuff BCU had done for the conference < 2003 as well as a new Prez and AD to work with . However...

LOL!! That's cold blooded, stinger.

+1 Other than a B1G invite, I will always advocate for a Northeast college football conference that resides in the northeast.

Don't believe anything out there unless it's a direct quote from the commissioner, or one of the Big East presidents. Brett McMurphy ‏@McMurphyCBS Big East interim commish Joe Bailey on Texas talking w/ND since 2010: "They've been doing it since 2010? It hasn't worked"

Timing is everything. And if fsu, miami, clemson etc... are bolting and I believe they are, then I hope they do so AFTER NBC, Big East and ND do their thing. If NBC is going to be a player in college football, then it must be willing to steal teams like espn and dish out equal and opposing...

Somebody told me that south georgia is where the best talent resides in georgia and that fsu because of its proximity is #1 in the pecking order for recruits there. Is it true? Regardless, I agree with your post.

Today from vetted southern football site "out kick the coverage." First 3 points of the fsu/big12 money trail have been discussed at length "But here's the kicker that no one is talking about: 4. The redistributed playoff share will be much more substantial for Florida State in the Big 12...

+1 They haven't anchored down in acc land yet. But....... Poor Big East leadership.

Let's hope the Steinbrenner kids hears part of the de-briefing from Navy personnel stressing the duty of doing the morale and ethical missions. Show them how to make a lot of $$ and at the same time demonstrate what Right looks Like. Does it matter that Steinbrenner's daughter is a unc chapel...

LOL!! Roger that, Carl. Have a great day, too! Checkmate King-2 over and out.

I don't know if this has any bearing on realignment, but Delany's comments about wanting to place a team in the Pinstripe bowl and other stuff he said yesterday got me thinking. When the Big East created the Pinstripe bowl, their first choice for an opponent was a B1G team but the B1G was too...

Reluctantly, I thought the same after further analysis. POOR Big East leadership, espn, backstabbers, POOR Big East leadership etc.... now allows acc football from a geographical prespective to make claim of nyc as well with cuse, pitt, bcu and miami vs current big east with UConn, RU and...

Thanks for the headsup. Regardless of the length of the original contract, this is a very interesting development to say the least.

No DNA in me to pretend to be be anyone but who I am. It would be an insult to do otherwise.

You're exactly right about the contents of the article, but I only referenced the acc info because I'm not responding to comments about the Big East unless they are directly quoted by a president or the commisioner.

The Pinstripe Bowl is a certified, bonified and verified Big East Conference bowl game. So, see you later Chuck Nienas and WVU. Delany's comments about New York City are exactly the same that Carl Spackler has been expousing for some time as it relates to the upside of making college football...

Well done, Carl. It's all about the Duty of doing what's right. The United States Naval Academy will show the Big East and the entire nation what right looks like. I still find it hard to believe they joined a conference.

Carl, I'm absolutely, categorically and unequivocally 100% on board with your strategic direction to not pay attention to comments about the Big East unless they're directly quoted from presidents or the commissioner. Time to go dark. In the meantime, let's enjoy an article about the acc's...

I had the same dream last week, too. So, you're not alone. They're already being treated like a conference why not?

Pete Thamel ‏ @PeteThamelNY Wow. RT @NickCarparelli: How rare is a double eagle? There have been 17,000 hole in ones for every 1 double-eagle

Is the information contained in the following link the type of "academic cache" at duke and unc you're talking about? http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2012/05/04/3218961/report-finds-academic-fraud-evidence.html

+++1 Has it absolutely, categorically and unequivocally been confirmed that Jay-Zee and Puff Daddy were not some of the tweeters? Self-hating words are 99.9% of the lyrics in their musi…. Opps, I mean stuff. They've damn sure perfected the use of them. Boston, with a small minority...

Moving forward, UConn athletics should redo the current husky logo to resemble your sig line photo. Just a thought

Carl, Great entrepreneuial focus. Manuel played football at Michigan. So, yeah, he should be wheeling and dealing on a series. The only way Southern Cal schedules a return game vs Cuse is if it's played in NYC in a pro stadium Ironically, the last time Southern Cal played in NYC area was...

Poontang is undefeated.

Cuse = UNLV East

I hate for him and there's still time for him to improve his play next year. But Cadougan is an example of why you can't out train poor nutrition. I feel the vast majority of his "WTF" moments stem from fatigue and fewer Type IIb muscle fibers than typically associated with elite 6-1 PGs.

A liittle known fact making the rounds at the tourney is that in the history of Big East football, Syracuse has finished in LAST PLACE more than any school; including Temple.

Here you go gioff23, 10 Poorest states in America. Guess who's #47? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/15/americas-poorest-states-_n_964058.html#s362419&title=4_West_Virginia

That's all?! There's a lot of talent here that would know better, but $1-2 million more per year by TV standards doesn't seem like a lot in contrast to what Pac 12 received and what SEC projects to receive adding MO and A&M. Proves the goal was to take the Big East out.

HartbeatHusky, When you authored this topic you stated up front that it was a "long shot" to flip the "backstabbers." And even though that ship seem to sail in no way does that potential outcome nullify your visionary spirit and the regional pride that you delivered, which reasonated with so...
