Interim BE commish seems more qualified than Marinatto

[UConnJim]

Joe Bailey. Also, kind of funny that head of BE presidents is President of USF and head of search committee is President of Cincinnati.

Good call. Two of the least likely schools to get poached in the next round of musical chairs.

Don't be so sure with Cincy.

Joe Bailey.

More qualified? No, Marinara sauce is and was not even remotely close to the same galaxy as Joe Bailey. It may only be temporary, but the Big East is not cutting corners in hiring BCG to analyze its current structure and enable media and other opportunities and by hiring RSR Partners and Bailey for at least an interim role and/or to hire a longer-term far more qualified professional than Marinara.

Anyone know the rules for appointing a new commish of the conference? Do you need a simple majority vote to hire a new commish or a super-majority? If a super-majority (60% or more) is needed, then we may never have another commish...

The short time between the JM and JB announcements means this has been "cooking" for awhile. The Baileys of the world don't instantaneously fall from the sky.

I like the fact that Bailey is a football guy. Thats where we need the most help .
