Missouri presser

[Vowelguy]

So, you're saying the Big10 will invite Missouri in and subsidize it for a dozen years with KC and StL markets contributing nothing to the Big10s bottom line?

Unless I missed a news flash, MO is not in the SEC yet. There easily is still time for the B10 to swoop in if it wants.

None of this needed to happen. The Big East was in a great position, and then the football schools turned on each other and everything instantly went to s***. Trust is critical in any type of organization, and when it is gone, it is very difficult to get back.

But hey, take a lap now that UConn's athletic program and national profile is in the toilet. Congratulations.

They had the chance to be in a great position a year from now. Whereas the ACC, B1G, P12 and SEC were already in great positions.

Once SU & Pitt left, it guaranteed the death of the conference, no matter what Susan Herbst said or didn't say. That's what you cannot figure out. You aren't able to resolve the difference between what they could have been with what they were once SU/Pitt left.

And that all would have changed if UConn managed to convince the rats to stay on the ship. Riiiiight.

What dream world do you live in if you are going on believing that there was a chance the ACC was going to stand idly by watching while every other major conference ended up with a far superior television contract than theirs?

The BE conference, as it was constituted could never have become significant enough to withstand another raid. As long as this was the case, the mega deal Marinatto was bragging about (which never quite made sense in the numbers thrown around as what was reported had nearly 90% of the revenues going to the football members) was always within one move by the ACC from being vaporized.

Go ahead however and claim that losing Pitt and Cuse will lead UConn's athletic program down the toilet while simultaneously claiming that all other posters have 'rolled over'.
