Football family squabble holding up Big East-Catholic 7 divorce

I agree Fishy. I am sure we can replace Tulane, with southern miss, smu with rice, etc.

That said the seeds are sowing . This thing is destined for failure before it starts.....because....of envy......and money.

 

[Fishy]

Every single one of those schools can be replaced by throwing a dart at a list of schools. (Coincidentally, that's how they were selected.)

And I think the conference will succeed, to whatever extent that it can, because of what brought it together in the first place - desperation. No one has a better option.

Why - Because a few schools tried to squeeze a few more dollars out of it for their schools... can't fault them for trying. We would expect the same thing. It's all posturing - happens everyday. All we are getting is a filtered version/report of what's happening.

 

[MattMang23]

They apparently don't get that.

Rice IS Tulane.
Southern Miss IS ECU
La Tech IS Houston

They're all replaceable. Don't like your cut? Go back to your crappier TV deal and play sports with East-West Bumbleduck Technical State Community College. The Rock has good advice for the new schools: Know your role and shut your mouth.

Wow - these are our new conference mates? They haven't done , anywhere, at any national level and feel they deserve the value to the Big East name?? Fuc& them. Do they realize that one of the C7's motivations was the revelation that the second the STINK of Tulane, Houston, Memphis touched the name it would be valueless. God, I am dreading this conference Aresco has dumped on us.

 

[MattMang23]

It's officially official. Just came up on ESPN breaking news: separation formally announced. We've obv reached a deal. Lets see what it is.

The point of some of the posts is not so much expecting a cut of exit fees as much as NCAA credits money, which "belong" to the conference....you would think the new "America 12" members would have had this stuff worked out before they started negotiations with C7.

Some of them also think our "suggestions" of a 2 - 5 team conference were serious.....

When these guy get in I am seriouly worried that they will act as a voting block against Uconn/Cinci and USF. We must settle the distribution of the Big East exit fees and the matter of future exit fees (for when we leave) now or disband this operation.

We cannot be hostages in the new A12.

Is Susan Herbst choking yet?


Susan Herbst, UConn's president, expressed optimism and spoke glowingly of the new conference.
"We are very cohesive, and it's wonderful working with strong presidents from such fine research institutions," Herbst said in an email. "Everyone will need to show some patience, but it is clear that we are a great fit to this new league..."

I would assume (haha..that may be foolish to do) that we have all our ducks in a row to protect us before this was signed sealed and delivered...

 

[junglehusky]

Hey Memphis, etc, you're not happy with this arrangment?

 

[huskymedic]

"I am pleased that this agreement has been reached,” Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco said in a statement. “With the long-term well-being of our outstanding institutions and their student-athletes of paramount importance, each group worked through a number of complex issues in an orderly, comprehensive and amicable manner marked by mutual respect. We part ways as friends and colleagues and look forward to the success of both conferences.”

 

[ZooCougar]

Memphis can rot. They should pay us 100 million.

I have always been in the more pro-Herbst category than a lot of people on this board. But if she conceded anything other than waiving the entrance fees, my feelings will be severely swayed.

one more (gotta admit, memphis has gotten under my skin)

#UConn's Herbst said there's no hard feelings toward C7. "Far from it, we shall keep in touch and play in special games wherever possible."

Every quote from her is a little gem.

 

[partial]

It's not like Herbst could say anything much different than that. But it comes across as sickeningly saccharine. That's alliteration bitches.

Personally though i would have gone with " them and the Pope they rode in on".

You don't want to continue to play games against GTown or Nova?

That board is quite possibly the most delusional place on the internet besides Nelson's mind.

have you read HFD's posts?

what is it with this woman and patience.
If she keeps thinking that everyone needs to have patience, maybe she is the one that needs to take the stick out of her arse and do something.

That quote was from over a week ago... not a new one but I'm sure she still thinks patience is a virtue.
