PITINOS WISH FOR NEXT BE COMMISIONER

[Hoophound]

Absolutely agree with you on that point. I just don't think Bilas moves the needle in the right direction...it would immediately be "See, we told you the Big East was only a basketball league."

Bilas would get airtime. If he says the right things, that goes away quickly.

What pitino wants pitino gets. Especially off the desert menu at fine restaurants

And what in heaven's name makes you think he would say the right things? He has zero football background. Ziltch. This is a basketball choice, proposed by a basketball coach and virtually everyone in favor is a basketball fan first and foremost.

This isn't a football coaching job, its an executive position. A Duke lawyer with media experience, high level athletic experience and the respect of people everywhere is a viable option. You will not convince me that Jay Bilas is ignorant enough not to see that football rules the day. He is too intelligent for that.

Look, I am not a Jay Bilas backer. I am just scared as hell that some no name schmuck will get the job and continue us on the path to ruin. There has been no evidence whatsoever that Big East leadership knows what they are doing to this point. At least I know Jay is smart, reasonable and respected. My choice is Kevin Weiberg based on what I have read. He has been mentioned many times as a good hire for us and based on what I can find on him, that's probably true.
