Unreal. duck* this conference and its leadership.


"On Tuesday, Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim said Notre Dame recently voted against a billion dollar deal for the Big East for football with ESPN even though Notre Dame doesn't play football in the conference. Boeheim said had the deal been approved, Syracuse and Pitt likely would have stayed in the conference.

Boeheim questioned why Notre Dame President Father John Jenkins was on the committee to vote on the Big East football deal. “Yeah. I don’t know why that is," Boeheim told Mike Waters of the Syracuse Post-Standard. "Why would he have a say on the football contract when they don’t participate in it? If they really wanted to keep the Big East together they would have come in in football, then we wouldn’t be talking about this."

Old news, and old quote, and a huge deflection by JB. He's being used as a mouth piece. Pitt was one of the big blockers of that deal, along w/ RU, and I believe WVU and maybe UL.

The vote outcome doesn't matter. It's the fact that ND had a vote in the first place.
