So you are claiming that this information is easily available to you on a website, but that the media can't figure out how to get access to it? Let me ask you a question -- would this sound credible to you if someone were telling you this?

yes I'm lying good call. You got me. Or I'm not full of it and USA Today is a joke. Ed Cooley made 2 million in 2015. Just from the school. Not counting Camps, Nike, etc... Here it is for all to find for themselves. Have fun. 990 Finder I wouldnt post it if it wasnt true. http://990s.foundationcenter.org/99..._990.pdf?_ga=1.97004191.1804050237.1484779119

I'm not sure what coaches' salaries have to do with anything. I'm sure a Big East team can pay $3M for a coach if it wants to.

Biggest issues facing the Big East are still the same - first, ratings on FS1 continue to be bad. They have ranked teams and they're still averaging under 100,000 viewers per game. There will be a correction in the contract and their revenue if that doesn't improve dramatically. Second, and we have this issue as well, the split between the power five and everyone is is coming. That is an end of days event.

It is a back and forth between Upstate and myself. He goes out of his way to say BE coaches will end up leaving because they don't pay enough or can't for that matter. He doubles down and says all BE Coaches are under a million. He is wrong. That's what that has to do with that.

Also as far as armageddon in relation to college basketball because that's all I care about frankly; let's just say I disagree with you.

There's about one coach in the Big East who should be making two or three million a year, but if the rest of them want to overpay, I'm sure they can find the money.

I'd love it not to be the case, but the network money train isn't going to be there the next time the power five conferences revisit their deals in the mid-2020s. ESPN is their cash firehouse and ESPN is bleeding to death.

When that happens, they're not going to shrug and just take less - they'll look for other sources of revenue and the billion dollars they're splitting with the smaller conferences in basketball is going to be the low-hanging fruit.

You have always lived in your own made-up reality. No, I didn't say that, and yes, this thread provides plenty of proof where I listed the salaries. You do realize people can revisit earlier posts, right?

You said that Jay Wright was going to go to Illinois, and nobody in the BE makes above a million, but I live in my own made up reality. I know you are famous for never admitting you were wrong, so I'm just going to go off to my own little reality and leave you be.

This is the first time I have read a death of College Basketball prediction scenario where I thought it might be possible. Good work, and I hope you are wrong.

Nope, wrong. It is right above you. Stop lying.
