Ok. If you say so. June Jones is 60. Somehow SMU sucked for decades in spite of their location.
Why don't you guys stop the personal attacks for two seconds and answer these questions.
If the latest Big East is so good and these teams are upgrades and this television strategy is so brilliant...
Why didn't the Big East invite SMU, Houston, Boise and SDSU before Pitt and Syracuse left? If they are so savvy and now have an NFL style holy grail why were they reactive and not proactive? Why did West Virginia set fire to the league to get out? Why would Rutgers, UConn and Louisville campaign so hard for an invite elsewhere?
Ill hang up and wait for your response that will never come.
God almighty.
-The Big East will still be the 6th best league.
-The Big East will have the 6th best tv contract - behind the ACC by a decent margin.
-You would have to be insane to take any of the new additions over Pitt, Syracuse and West Virginia.
Anybody that chooses to ignore those facts isn't in touched with reality. Almost everybody here agrees with the above points.
That all being said, the Big East has added some teams with recent success, some new markets and teams with some history. There is some optimism that UConn and The Big East can survive to fight another day.
We get it - you don't think so. No amount of complaining or debating with Carl is going to change that.
You're obviously entitled to your opinion, but come on, enough is enough.
