Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 4669075, member: 271"] We are ever advancing toward the day when the costs to maintain our AD are too much to subsidize. Our basketball coach will be making a couple million dollars more per year than the Big East pays us when he gets a raise in the next few months. Think about that. It makes this so easy to understand. We don’t even need to talk about any other sports, expenses or coaching salaries, Our basketball coach gets the whole payout and then we’ll need to dig up a couple million more on top of it to pay him. Anyone clinging to the Big East is asking for trouble. I love the Big East and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being back in the conference, but we’ve got to play the long game financially if given the chance. Even if the B12 passes on us, we will still be looking for another home, it’s a necessity. The Big East is a temporary home. If we are in it long term, we are going to pay the price. [/QUOTE]
