... they pay Ed Cooley $6 million a year in the hopes of making their team relevant again.

What did Coley actually achieve at Providence? Basically, his reputation is that Providence didn't completely suck while he was there. There really isn't a lot of material postseason success, just "not sucking" that was always a head scratcher to me.

Actual salary is $3.89 million and not $6 million per year. But still Ed Cooley has underperformed and Georgetown needs to bring in a coach who can win.

Not sucking is probably the goal of 14 out of the 18 teams in the ACC. With BC, winning one conference game seems to be the goal.

I wouldn’t put it that low but I totally agree on BC. But really there are only a handful of programs who have as an honest goal winning national championships. Most of the others see getting to the Tournament as their goal. In our league it’s us and maybe Villanova though I’m not impressed with their hires since Jay Wright retired. Willard to me seems like a taller Mick Cronin
 
Y’all think Cooley could go to UMass or URI after he gets canned from Georgetown?

A taller Mick Cronin is a 100x better than Kyle Neptune.

You get nice people and jerks from all schools, but the two most insufferable groups I've dealt with in sports and life are Duke and Georgetown. I don't know if the schools attract jerks or turns good kids into jerks, but it's consistent.

Plenty of other schools turn out grads that over inflate the importance of their alma mater, but they tend to mellow over time. BC and Villanova stand out. But, the Duke and Georgetown alums hold on to their arrogance. I will say, the Duke grads have all impressed me at work whereas I've seen a handful of unimpressive Georgetown grads.

Regarding Upstater's fan ranking of the Big East, it's only Georgetown fans that I think are unlikeable on the whole. I also find most Providence grads to be unlikeable and they have less reason to be arrogant about their school (academically and athletically) than the others mentioned. The others BE schools have a loud minority of jerks, or are a bit rough during games, but are otherwise fine one-on-one. To be clear, that includes are own fans. We have plenty of fans that embarrass us.

My brothers and I used to go to the BET every year for a couple decades (me from Buffalo, one from Florida, one from Conn). None of us graduated from UConn. But we were all fans. That annual event was broken when we joined the AAC and so none of us have been back.

So I don't know how the fanbases act. My sense of the best and worst fanbases was made pre-2013. Pitt really was the worst back then. By far.

It just sucks because GTown was such a cool team back in the day. The uniforms, John Thompson stalking the sidelines, the rep for being tough as hell. Just sad to see them and so many other classic 80s/90s teams just become this.

Sure, but that was 40 years ago. Same level of nostalgia as John Wooden's UCLA teams or the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Seriously? Not a good sight to see. I'm sure we'll light it up for them on Saturday. I can't imagine Cooley will be here too much longer.

Really? Drawing 6 million a year? He is somewhat of a name and if he buys some players…who will do better there?
 
The fan base is dropping off every year. Games may have to go back on campus and wait until the Big East starts complaining about that.
