You answered the question. The programs which win national championships are more valuable than what the Big East is paying them. Ripe for the poaching. You want to stick your head in the big east sand and hope no one leaves for $greener$ pastures? I sure don't. You have to control your own destiny. Hope is a dangerous thing.
Gonzaga is a good deal at $2 million? Maybe. I doubt it. Gonzaga has won bupkis. It's a small Catholic school in freaking spokane. Sure it's owned the WCC but that's it. What draw does that school have once Mark Few leaves? Certainly not the draw that NYC or Philly have.
You’re the one saying Big East schools would be poached. Gonzaga gets better TV ratings than any school in the Big East except maybe UConn and Villanova. My point is nobody is paying more than the Big East to any non football school, except Norte Dame.
too much ice in the scotch
the conference was a lot more fun back in those days
Marquette will be big games, Creighton too. Nova looks a little suspect, but people will get up for that game as well. Georgetown with Cooley, I'm arrogant and spoiled enough to look forward to that beat down. But that's pretty much it. I look forward to the Seton Hall games because they are a local team to me.
There isn't going to be a football team coming to the Big East.
No. OSU and WSU are not good in basketball.
Ahhhh, now i understand why conferences want our BB but not our FB
Ugh no. Late night games, bad TV ratings at that time. Terrible travel. They are useless. They will be yesterday’s news soon enough. Better to keep the round robin.
It's one game a year playing in Spokane. We'll be okay.
I don’t think so as that won’t be a major conference in basketball.
It’s not their BB I was thinking about.
They aren't taking schools that don't play FBS football. No conference that does is doing that.
Lol, so are you saying that up until this point the logic of that evaded you?
