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

Guys, when the C7 Purchased the name they also purchased the records for all sports except football, Just go look at last years BE Men's basketball media guide. There is all the historic data about the conference and the records. It even has all the past champions in every sport except football.

This has nothing to do with anyone we were talking about.

You realize the New Big East doesn't play football right? So why in god's name would would they carry the records?

Thanks Capt. Never said anything about football records. Talking everything else. Sounds like I was right. Funny how that works out after the intelligence insults. Thanks.

Pretty sure this was only after their offer to buy the pac12 record book was rejected.

Not sure where else to put this but the color guy for the Maine game was Andy Gresh. I would gather this is the same Gresh that works with Joe D on WTIC.

I have never listened to Joe D and Gresh but I'll tell you what, Gresh did a flawless job on the TV call. As I watched the tape of UConn vs Maine, I was thinking, who is this Greash guy? IMO, he was really good. Not once did I think, shut up already.

I never heard him before, but I thought he sounded like Joe Rogan.

My only question off his game call was whether he had the pronunciation of Peart right... he was drawing it out as 'Pee-art'.. I'd been thinking it was just 'Pert'.....

Thought the exact same thing. Too funny.

It was implied in multiple comments that the AAC owns the old BE records. That is simply not true. Ironically the AAC does not include one historical reference for even football pre-2013, so maybe they don't even own those records.

You still think that it's worth arguing about which league has lost more schools, as though that has something to do with the league's current quality, so I'd say the insults to your intelligence were pretty much on the mark.

Gotta agree with you. He's a windbag on his radio show but he was great with in-game analysis and knowledge of UConn players and history. Plus kudos for getting the correct pronunciation of Peart, as per UConnHuskies.com.

"Purchased the records"? They were scammed. You can get them off the internet for free.

Friar you can't "purchase" a record. It is held by the conference who earned it. Happy to see a link that says otherwise though.

Read the cited article. ESPN: Report: $100M for football schools

Big East football schools will get almost all of a $110 million pot in a deal that will allow seven departing basketball schools to keep the name Big East and start playing in their own conference next season, a person familiar with the negotiations says.

The Yahoo article (Wetzel) does say history but doesn't source it anyway. It's wrong. You can't buy or sell history. It just is.

So why does the Big East include all the history in their media guide and the AAC does not? Maybe you should sue if the Big East is not entitled to it.
 
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.

Thats a good question, I could care less. Just answering a question. It seems to me this has become about being correct and to not appear what was said was false. NONE of this matter now, that ship left years ago.

I'm simply saying that the BE does indeed say that those NC's were achieved by a BE school and that the BE is still alive and kicking, as someone else says its more about trying to say that the BE never ceased to exist and is still the same conference. UConn owns their own championships and the BE simply says they were a member of that conference when they won them. Click on the media guide I linked it's all there. You are saying they have no right to claim whats in the media guide. With the amount of lawyers involved in the break, my guess is that you are incorrect.

To articulate this further, You say the Big East didn't exist before 2013 essentially. I ay the BE purchased the right to say they have always been there as they are now, which is exactly what they claim in all their published and posted materials.
