Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Honest question - who cares what conference is allowed to include 'history' on the webpage.

The deal was for the name and the cache that comes from it.

Lol, so you are saying that 3 of UConn's 4 national championships are "owned" by the New Big East, a conference that didn't exist when they were won? Kind of silly don't you think?

Maybe it would be better just to proud of the single one that's been earned while the conference has been in existence.

 

[AZHuskiePop]

Too bad you missed that boat

Thanks

The Big East can "say" whatever it wants. It doesn't change the fact that UConn has been in the same conference since 1979 and the new Big East is a new conference formed what in 2014? Think about this, the American owns the NCAA credits from the Old Big East. It didn't buy them. It owns them because it was the conference in which the member schools earned them. Pretty clear right?

You guys paid $110 million to buy a name. I think it was a smart move for you since the bulk of you earned nothing in the Big East, you just lived off the success of the marquee schools. I get if PC had more success it wouldn't be an issue for you. If your only sense of identity is that others schools in your former conference were actually pretty good, I guess it makes sense that you'd want to hold on to that.

In any event, thanks for the $110 million.

If you're allowed to purchase your own facts, you might want to think about buying a few more NCAA tournament wins.

In reality, Providence, along with the other Catholic schools, left the Big East. They left. They departed. The Big East broke up. You guys bought the name, and you tell yourselves you're entitled to the league's history even though the schools that provided the lion's share of it are gone. It's not the same league. Outside of NBE fans telling themselves it is, no one with any understanding of the college basketball landscape considers it the same league. How could they? The best teams all left.

As a reminder, you're in this league.

You used to be in this league with a lot of better schools.

 

[NYUConn]

It's true, you guys aren't good enough to get more than half a page worth of jokes here.

 

[CallMeBruce]

And if you're lucky, our flirtation with the Big 12 won't work out, and maybe we'll decide to come join your fledgling little league. And no one will care if Providence doesn't like it, because your TV partners are tired of paying for you guys to play basketball on TV with no one watching. Now get your sea-lioning ass out of here and go high-five with the other piles of human failure on the Providence message board where you all pretend that you're not worthless.

I missed the key tweets about Providence

 

[CallMeBruce]

You think it's yours? Providence is completely irrelevant. You've got a major network ponying up too much money to put a league with no fans on TV. If we decide we want to go to the New Big East, Fox will make sure it happens, because unlike Providence and most of the teams in the New Big East, UConn generates money. The opinions of a few salty, butthurt Providence losers won't matter any more than Providence athletics usually matters.

Now why are you even on this board? Providence already hit their high-water mark in CR when they were in our league. You're not going anywhere of note ever again.

Somewhere "Mountain Man" AKA Okie Lite is L-A-F-F-I-N his a** off over the * he's stirred up in this thread over the last few pages. Will he return to reap the rewards of his labors? Stay tuned...
