funniest part of this - Diaco having trouble wrapping the football present. So true!
Expand ...
They cut it out but in the original video Diaco explains that the football was in terrible shape before he came in to wrap it, that the first three attempts to wrap it were really just practice, that he believes he made great progress in each attempt to wrap it and that he hopes to be able to bring in new talent so that he can wrap it next year.

Like i was pointing out on that memphis deal and fedex, i think pg's advertising budget is annually in the multi billions of dollars which is in large part tv/media spent. The likelihood southern ohio/cincy is shutout of the power conf. situation in fball is minimal. Things down here work on the quiet. However, you do not have to be a sage to realize who is ultimately funding these tv contracts to begin with. Push back eventually occurs in due time.

Southern Ohio isn't shut out because it is represented by Ohio State, and in parts of metro Cincy, U Kentucky. Nobody gives a crap about U Cincinnati.
 
I can tell you i've lived down here for over 7 years, and that's not true. OSU fans are ridiculed heavily down here, and Ky is primarily in Northern Ky. There's an entire anti columbus attitude in cincy as the state govt is headquartered there, and the southern ohio population feels that part of the state north is getting more benefits than the southern portion, which includes the osu budget vs other state schools, research grants, etc. It even extends to the high school playoffs in fball and bball which are almost exclusively in cbus or northern ohio in spite of the fact that southern ohio teams win most of them. Southern Ohio is not accommodating to OSU or Cleveland for that matter, for numerous reasons.

I don't know, I have spent a lot of time in Cincinnati and J saw a lot of Louisville, Kentucky and OSU gear. I really wonder what there is to gain by adding Cincinnati. ..much like Memphis, it seems like covered ground (not to mention they also have two professional teams competing for dollars and eyes).

I thought he was simply gift wrapping another victory for our opponents.

Too bad that this, Chryst going to Wisconsin (could have happened, Wisconsin was interested in Chryst 2 years ago; but, Chryst just took the Pitt job the year before and did not want to do that) and Pederson leaving. Would Pitt have gotten the support needed to replace UConn on the ACC's radar even with BC's politicking? Ah, only if...
 
If the B1G can improve its football profile (with Meyer & Harbaugh, OSU-Michigan should again be the highest profile rivalry) there will be less pressure on new additions being required to upgrade the conference's football. This is very helpful to schools like UConn and Kansas.

I can follow this logic. As long as a conference's traditional powers are, well, powerful, then everything else can fall into place. I think a dream scenario would be to have OSU-Michigan back at the top with a ton of east coast TV sets to broadcast to.

As long as B1G football is good, and UCONN can prove it can be fairly competitive in it (which I think we can), then that would help T1 negotiating rights. When it's time to factor in basketball (i.e. - year-round content), then UCONN's value skyrockets. That's the thinking, anyways.

I think that logic is awesome. Especially when compared to the ACC. The ACC has Florida State and Clemson which isn't nearly as big as Ohio State vs. Michigan/Penn State/Nebraska/Wisconsin and it went and added Syracuse.

I agree. It's nice to see all of these corrupt programs get a clean slate (or in the case of FSU, not be prosecuted to begin with), but what about us?? I guess that a few players leaving early for the NBA is much more damaging to the NCAA "code" than covering up child rape, covering up rape by your star QB, faking a complete set of classes, and covering up failed drug tests so a few players can play (and lose) in the NCAA Tournament. It's a good thing that Oklahoma State football showed everyone the bullspit playbook how to dodge the big bad APR police in the future, but it's too bad we didn't have that playbook a few years ago.

One too many 10 second congratulatory phone calls to an excited 12 year old and we're on Emmert's sh1tlist forever.

I think Emmert's deep animosity towards UConn has more to do with the fact that Connecticut had the 'nerve' to call a spade a spade with respect to his mishandling of UConn 2000 than anything else.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...dent-emmert-previous-cases-uconn-lsu/2047607/

Oddly enough, on his 'official' resume on the NCAA website, UConn 2000 is not noted as one of his accomplishments while at UConn. He must have spent a lot of effort trying to sweep that giant pile of steaming turd under the rug.

http://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/MAE.pdf

I did not know he was a grad student at Syracuse in the late '70's and early80's. Chances he recuses himself from that investigation?

And I am sure that after the Nate Miles fiasco when Calhoun had the nerve to win yet another NCAA Men's Basketball Championship right after did not help. Going after UConn for calling Mo'ne Davis showed the world how petty the guy is.
