Quotes from new Big East Commissioner on St. John's
« on: August 27, 2012, 07:38:21 PM »
"There is upside with the new teams and still a core group that's as good as ever. Let's not forget about Steve Lavin and St. John's. St. John's hadn't been relevant for a decade, possibly more. He got them immediately relevant. Obviously he had to recruit a brand-new group of people, and now he's going to have time to develop that program. He's going to get it done. Oliver Purnell is a terrific coach, did a great job at Clemson. He's at DePaul. DePaul would own Chicago once it gets back on its feet. The same thing with St. John's. That's huge for the Big East. The fact that the basketball schools are in big media markets in the East and other places, in the Midwest and the South, it's going to really be compelling when those teams reach their potential."

Sounds like he knows which team is New York City's team - Chicago's too.  This guy is going to be good.

He gets it--there is no NYC college football team, period.  the way to the media for the BE is through basketball and for that SJU is necessary to dominate the media for the school and the BE.

Thamks for the link.  like that writer I can't wait fot ESPN's 60 day exclisive period to be over at the end on the month to see if NBC comes through with a decision to challenge them with the BE as the first acquisition to their sports broadcasting network/cable TV group.

“@sn_ncaab: Big East TV negotiations ‘not anywhere near done’ http://t.co/sEppKh5x”

Big East commissioner Mike Aresco said a deal between the conference and ESPN during the two sides' exclusive negotiating window that runs through October is “not anywhere near done."

Aresco said there has been "a lot of interest” amongst rival networks and that he expects negotiations with ESPN to ramp up as the network’s exclusive window closes. Should the Big East become available, NBC Sports Net and CBS Sports Net are both expected to make bids.

"We have two sports that are equally important, and they can help each other,” Aresco told the Chicago Tribune recently. “The basketball-only schools derive great benefit from being with our football-basketball schools. The football-basketball schools benefit from the wonderful, strong heritage of the basketball schools. That, together, will mean a lot as we talk to the various networks."

As part of any future agreement, Aresco said he has not ruled out creating a Big East Network, a la the Big Ten, Pac-12 and coming soon, the SEC.

i like espn because even if the game isn't televised, you can usually catch the live stream on espn3.  i don't know if the other networks have that feature.
