Catholic 7 expected to keep Big East name

I may not like Fox and Murdoch's politics but I am quickly becoming a fan of their Sports Broadcasting division.  Their backing probably makes MSG feel a lot more comfortable about their long-term relationship with the Big East.

Adam Zagoria ? @AdamZagoria

MSG Executive VP Joel Fisher will be at the new Big East presser tomorrow & is expected to announce the tourney will remain at MSG

Can't wait to hear Gus Johnson calling our games on Fox.

“@JRbroadcaster: Excellent viewpoint...Who Needs Football?: Why the New Big East Is a Hoops Junkie’s Dream http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/03/why-the-new-big-east-is-a-hoops-junkies-dream.html @Intelligencer”

Murdoch known to back lefty's in Britain. Roger Ailes made him a ton of money with Fox news, and all the political stuff. He now has carte  blanch. Fox getting us off the ground. Me, I looking the other way.

Rupe is member of the green party pure and simple. He saw a hole in the television market and exploited it.

A breath of fresh air. Do you believe there are guys on this site that nothing makes them happy. How coulda we come out any better?

Fox Sports carrying announcement at 11AM--can see it online; checkout story on St Johns site "red storm sports"

“@KevinMcNamara33: Georgetown's Jack DiGioia and Providence's Rev. Brian Shanley will speak for Big East presidents at this morning's press conf in NYC.”

“@STJ_Basketball: WATCH LIVE: #NewBIGEAST Announcement Wednesday At 11 a.m.: Presidents, @FOXSports, @TheGarden:

Watching the presser now and 8 minutes in I already hate Gus Johnson. Cant wait till he starts screaming over our games. Ugh.

We have ourselves a competitive league without the attendant worries of Football domination. Best choice of limited options! And MSG!

“@KieranDarcy: Also official -- Big East tourney will continue to be held at Madison Square Garden. And Fox acquires all TV rights, 12 year deal”

“@AdamZagoria: Big East deal with Fox Sports is for 12 years and includes all men's & women's hoops & all Olympic sports.”

Providence president is a great speaker.

“@AdamZagoria: Big East deal with Fox Sports is for 12 years and includes all men's & women's hoops & all Olympic sports.”

Providence president is a great speaker.

Happens when things are cut and pasted sometimes I think.  Just a typo thing.

I don't see how anybody can take a look at what has been done with the new Big East and see it as anything but a rousing success in just about every way.  Kudos to the league schools and administrations for getting this done.  Keeping MSG is another massive success despite Newsie's Doomsday prophecies.
