βdeal" with it and move on? Really? UCant stabs the BE in the back and then you want some of us to roll over.β
OK then donβt deal with it...

Thumper you have been magnificent bin this thread. Some of the specimens here are so F'N brave now that Cooley has agreed to stay another year. You fools would be singing a different tune if Cooley had been offered and accepted the Michigan job. As it is, Hurley is winning more than his fair share on the recruiting trail while still IN THE AAC.
Again...for the benefit of those in a purple haze:
we were ready to announce a long term home and home with uconn...so we pick up one game now...Big Friggin Deal
MSG attendance set a record because of the Big East...we are King Of NYC
Fox? Big Deal, their ratings suck and will continue to suck...cripes they sub out games to friggin CBSsports every chance they get
We sold out nearly every Big East game this past year....
watch Uconn bb program outspend us 10-1 going forward
Thumper you are god in a striped shirt...God Bless you for understanding what a Fu8&^%$%cking vendetta looks like...as opposed to the snowflakes here
Thumper, mike and Info...too bad you're not Italo's bec we could use you in the Vendetta Game
WTM's Brooklyn? Ain't what it used to be apparently
Yeah...I'm spitting bullets...let's see how lovely Mike T and Fr Shanley are when friggin Hurley eats your snowflake lunches
VIVA THUMPER
VIVA INFOMAN
VIVA MIKE
and all those who agree with me....L'il Ole Dex

So while Mike T has been working the Big8 for the last 3 years he's also telling Stephanie that if worst comes to worst 'we'll always have my friends in the BigEast' to turn to and with me working the presidents you'll be welcomed back (yes technically they never left the C7 did) with open arms and unanimous vote. Well it came to that and Tranghese came through for her but I still don't see where the great benefits are? Maybe uconn will take the millions they were going to use to opt out --they are already reneging-- to buy into the BigEast? I doubt it.
The league is very dif' now without the others --BC,Pitt,UL- and just uconn as a fully funded --albeit broke-- state u.

I am sure he would rather be in the ACC. [/quote] Gino goes from one conference his teams have dominated since being in that league to another conference his teams will dominate. Guarantees him more trophies not sure about more national championships. I bet PC coach is all for the challenge, he probably sees this as an even better chance to bring in higher level women players.

Gino goes from one conference....to another conference.... That's one of my two points. And he (and they) would not skip a beat if the ACC were to call.

Uconn women is 120-0 or something in the AAC with avg win differential 30+ ppg. Ridiculous. Its the dream team vs angola every game. In the old BE they were strong under Auriemma in the 90s and then dominant in the early to mid 2000s before the change to the AAC where now its just not even competitive at all. This says as much about the women's game and the depth issues than it does for any genius of Auriemma, imo. He has built his castle and now gets all the very top recruits. The drop off is so severe after that and you get the result. That said I hope the BE to be a little more challenging on that side of the house. Would be healthier for their game if it wasn't so lopsided. Will also juice women's attendance at every school they visit. This should be a boon to the coffers of the BE warchest with the strong Uconn men's and women's programs added in. They have a huge alumni and fan base, partially just simply due to the size of their school combined of course with the success. I see strong attendance boosts to all teams they visit, and in their own home court which had been sliding big time in the AAC. I see MSG now definitely being sold out, probably across all days for the forseeable future and a added buzz. And I hope the TV situation is fluid as mentioned such that Fox will now kick in more $$$ to offset adding in Uconn, and maybe we all get a tad more. Further I wonder what the etrance fee will look like?
Too many plusses for me not do this. Had the BE had more success outside of Villanova and the 1 Xavier run in March these last few years I'd have said no. But we didn't. The truth is this moves makes sense for both parties at this point in time, imo.
