Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 2955816, member: 44"] Wow. I hate remedial work but there has been progress, so let's recap. You now understand that: 1) In July 2013, the "Catholic 7" left the Big East Conference. (This includes Providence.) 2) The Catholic 7 formed a new conference in July of 2013. 3) The new Catholic 7 conference bought the rights call themselves by name the Big East and right to the remaining term of the Big East's MSG contract. This does not rewrite history and somehow make the new conference the original Big East (for sake of clarity I'll refer to the new conference as the Little East.) 4) The the Little East was formed in 2013 not 1979. It has no claim to anything that happened before it existed. 5) The Little East never "bought the history" of the Big East. That claim never made any sense. 6) Records such as national championships belong to school that earned them, not non-performing schools that through historical accident were a member of the same conference with the championship schools. 7) UConn has won four NCAA men's basketball national championships. None of these belong to Providence College by virtue of their being in the same conference as UConn for some of them. 8) Georgetown has won one NCAA men's basketball national championship. None of these belong to Providence College by virtue of their being in the same conference as Georgetown when it was earned. 9) Villanova won three men's basketball NCAA national championships. None of these belong to Providence College by virtue of their being in the same conference as Villanova when they were earned. 10) Providence has not won a NCAA men's basketball national championship. Whew, that's a lot of ground we covered. I'll add one more then I afraid I can't spend more time on this: 11) It is pitiful for non-performing institutions to try claim the accomplishments of other institutions. Even more so to try to do it on their board. Be well buddy. I'm out. [/QUOTE]
