Big East, Syracuse Reach A Deal

[uconndogs]

OK, so UCONN would turn down an invitation to the ACC.

Thanks for clearing that up.

You're an annoying twerp....you know that...........

 

[Dann]

Huh.....??????

Dan, honestly, I have no idea what you are trying to say.

what im saying is "cuse is soft".

 

[uconndogs]

Got it. They are soft because they honored their contractual obligations in good faith.

Count me as being soft as well as I have done that throughout my career.

 

[businesslawyer]

who said uconn would wet its pants over a acc invite? espn? .

You mean other than our Governor and the President of our University who said it?

yes, when every other school bullys the be office around, you look weak by just paying up. they could have saved 2.5 mil and put up twice the scoreboards there doing at the dome or more apple products in the locker rooms or w/e. the school they were moving with was playing hard ball because they get it, cuse screwed that up.

i have never seen someone just shake off 2.5 million dollars before like what ever. cuse just did it.

This line made me chuckle:

“This closes a chapter and opens a new one filled with exciting possibilities for the Big East’s future. With the recent addition of eight schools to the Big East, the future for the Conference has never been brighter,” said Joe Bailey, Big East Interim Commissioner.


I mean he has to spin it some way but it's 110% BS when any school with an invite is out faster than you can say Marinatto

This is the type of thing we want him to say. Shame he didn't say it better and doesn't have more ammo.

What he should have said:

"The Big East is glad to have reached a mutually beneficial agreement with Syracuse University.

We are looking forward to a new chapter that adds several programs with great football tradition to our conference to compete with our existing BCS qualifying teams as well as a number of rising basketball programs to our roster of national championship level programs.

We are excited to show the nation, from Florida to California, that the Big East Conference is committed to excellence on the field, on the court, and in the classroom. I promise our fans, old and new, that we are doing everything we can to deliver an experience that is second to none."

No they couldn't. They had agreed to pay $5 mn and give 27 months notice. To leave with 12 months notice is a more valuable right, and more costly to the Big East. No judge would reduce the termination notice by 15 months without compensating the Big East for the reduction. So the Big East was guaranteed substantially more than $5 mn.

Syracuse got a good deal. Pitt could end up with a worse deal if they fight, which they probably won't.

Dan, I really appreciate your coverage and enthusiasm for UCONN football.

But there is no way in hell I would ever do business with you. None. Zip. Nada. I doubt you give a crap about that, but I guarantee you that the sentiment you are expressing here is so far off any ethical compass it's scarry. That you state it so freely is also pretty disturbing.

Anyway, being the wimp that I am, I see Syracuse's willingness to address their contractual obligations in good faith as a sign of an ethical institution with solid leadership. Not common in today's world of college football.

fair enough. i chose to be a wild guy on here so im not hurt in any way by ppl not liking my non grammar or crazy ideas. if this was real life in the office, u would see a different guy. but anyway.

how many ppl take speeding tickets or some type of moving violation to the court to get it knocked down instead of paying the bigger number. cuse took the ticket. ppl do both. but the past 10 years has seen nothing but dog eat dog stuff in college football. cuse was the first school in a while to do something that they were suppose to i guess if u can call it that(they are leaving a league early...). if u find that nice and heart warming thats great. i find it to be "soft" and "not about it". every other school is screwing other confs and schools over a couple mil and cuse didn't. in my business background, i think i would fight for the most $$ possible in my pocket, not just agree to the middle number right off the bat. i really hope that pitt somehow pulls shit out of its ass and pays atleast a penny less than 7.5 just to say cuse for that dumb move.

ill call it quits on this becuase im pretty much out in left field on this. i can care less about cuse and pitt fball on the field and i hope they both rot in hell. i just found cuse screwing pitt to be very funny and sad that those 2 wern't on the same page. thats all. back to uconn fball.

 

[uconndogs]

I used to have a bat crazy uncle Dan. Loved him just the same.................

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!

Well sure, them but who else you got? /sarcasm off

You think you're being sarcastic, but apparently it wasn't enough for Dan.

Not only do I agree with you, but did the Big East accept Pitt's offer at $5M for one year? The answer is no. So there is no basis to conclude the Big East would or would not have accepted it if Syracuse wasn't negotiating a higher amount.

Bizarrely irrational rant.

 

[Dann]

without me u guys would have nothing to be entertained about right now. carl has been quite lately and the #begharder stuff has calmed down. just be thankful i feel the need to rant about crap to feed your minds.

 

[Waquoit]

Trick question, the Prez wears skirts.

 

[pj]

As expected, Pitt agrees to pay Big East $7.5 mn to leave a year early. Same deal as Syracuse.

yup, cuse screwed pitt out of 2.5 mil.

 

[junglehusky]

So I guess we're hoping Pitt holds a grudge against Cuse for this? *shrug*

About the other quote from Bailey... I guess he felt he had to put a spin on the news, but why even bother putting out a press release? It doesn't seem necessary, unless it's to reassure Boise fans or something.
