Can't believe people are actually debating the merits of the new C7. As if we had any other choice?
We will add the best 3-5 schools and go from there.
i'm just not a big believer in waving the white flag.
i know the c-7 were virtually kicked out. that doesn't mean the presidents couldn't creatively build something just as good as the old big east.
just sayin..
What would you have them do?
Newsie wanted us to sit and wait until we get booted and on rear ends. The fact we were proactive and made twice as much money is irrelevant to him.
gross oversimplfication.
there was good reason for the C7 to be proactive and shake up the cadaver formerly known as the big east.
it's the plan that's chilling. a small "catholic" conference won't be as good as the atlantic 10 in a few years. you point to all that money that's supposedly coming in as the difference maker. let's see it first. this is the same mantra we heard about stephenson/landesberg/etc turning around st john's fortunes once they were on board. the wishful thinking is laughable.
NO ONE is paying 30 million dollars (down from 50 million) for ten teams few care about. this is another internet rumor from the same guys who told you in december orlando sanchez will be suiting up soon. i suggest we wait for the news conference.
there are good plans out there. maybe foad...in his spare time...can look mine up. there are other good suggestions. the reality is dorky college presidents, including our own, are heading up this new "enterprise". you saw how well ours did since looie left.
here's what i predict: a dog of a conference...a few teams doing well, including ours as long as lavin is on board...a RARE final four appearance for any if its members and no national championships in the foreseeable future.
most of you will be happy with this...
