Chief, with all due respect (and I have plenty of it for you), Val is a powerhouse in her leadership of the the BE.

Many of you did not pay very close attention during your purgatory in the AAC, but when the C7 split the BE, she was there.  When FOX/BE were making a media deal, she was on the point.  When they said the BE was dead, she kept it an elite conference.  When the B10 and ACC came to try to claim MSG, she outmaneuvered them both and secured a long extension.  When UConn needed to get out of the AAC, she made that deal happen in a way that highly benefited the BE (while making it a win-win for both sides).  There's plenty she has done that made this conference what it is today.

No, she doesn't go on stage and vociferously pounds the table and whines that people should pay attention to the BE and give us everything we deserve.  Leave that to others.   No.  She works people, makes the play out of the public eye, she out maneuvers those who get in her way without throwing a public tantrum.  This woman is deadly and most importantly she gets things done.

But hey, you want an Aresco type, by all means.  We can see how well that worked out for the AAC.
