Catholic 7 Potential TV Deal

Opinions can't really be wrong but they can be baseless.

For example: It is my opinion that Roseann Barr is more attractive than Heidi Klum.

You mean Seal? Ha!

Seriously. I love this forum. My favorite St. John's forum, but if there is anything dislike it and not want to come back to its Baldi. Between the constant Iona posts and the jabs he takes at St. John's (most not even factual), it just makes me less and less wanting to read threads on the site.

He has 11,000 posts.

Fwiw, take this with a grain of salt but heard today that the league will go to 12 right away and it will be Xavier, Butler, Dayton, St. Louis and Creighton invited.  The reason the deal with Fox being talked about is that they already know what they're paying for.  I'm guessing it would be two divisions east/west.

This from the Prov board?

I really don't want to go 12 teams.  180 from where I stood a few months ago.  I really want no part of Creighton and only want 1 from the Dayton/St Louis choice.

Ten is my preference too. Can't argue with that money though.

I was really looking forward to a home and away with every team in the league.   Don't think you can do that with 12 teams.

Why do you feel this way, my brother?

That Katz article right after the split talked about Zags reaching out to the C7.  Haven't heard anything since.

I heard they wanted to stick to 9-10 teams unless Zags wanted in.  Then they would increase.  The idea was that the extra non conference games would be great but only if Zags came in could those be sacrificed.

Just posted before I saw your note.  I heard they were set on X and Butler and hemming and hawing on the 10th spot.  Loved having the extra non conf spots and would sacrifice them for Zaga. 

Creighton just doesnt get me all excited.  Both Dayton and STL are viable.  Just not sure about both.  Either way I'm still 150% behind this new conference.

Why no love for Creighton?  Typically a solid program, even if they take a step back once Doug McD goes pro?  I can see one thinking that there is no need for Dayton when you have Butler and Xavier, but I think Creighton would be a solid addition.  Or is it because getting Creighton means you need to add another team (i.e., a Dayton), whereas staying at 10 gives you Butler/Xavier (who everyone wants) and then possibly St. Louis with that market.

Sorry I posted just as you had replied.

No' didn't read the Providence board.  Maybe its a rumor that has been floating out there?  Fwiw, I'd rather VCU than Creighton probably.

I guess its Omaha Nebraska to me.  Doesn't strike basketball to me.  But the cities in Ohio, Indy and STL do.  Just my two cents.

As for VCU I don't see that one happening.  The size of the school dwarfs all the other schools I'm pretty sure.  I would think they kind of want to stay in the same mindset.

Although it's not a moneymaker, Creighton's baseball program is also very strong and would be a big asset.

I wonder after the next inevitable wave of the ACC exodus if Notre Dame will seriously contemplate coming to this league. C7 + ND + X + BUT + CREI + VCU/DAY/SLU is a very good conference.

For the record Baldi was a big SJU rooter during the Norm years, and was constantly bashing the people killing Norm as "not real fans of the program." My buddy Choz even called Baldi "the voice of reason during the BEB days" not to long ago. Baldi is like a "heel" wrestler, he switches sides to go aggravate the majority. BTW WASJU predicted this Baldi switch in one of his last BEB threads after Norm was fired.

   11,000 posts.  damn.  There is a reason that the longest thread in the history of Johnny Jungle is about Iona basketball. 

    You guys need to have fun with Baldi. He will be the first to admit he's a dope.  It's not to hard to make him look silly, he does most of the work himself.
