New York, LA and Charlotte. 

The Big East's new commissioner "could be announced before league meetings" May 19-22 in West Palm Beach (INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 5/11).

Man, does this guy have an edge! Clearly has a bone to pick.

“@blauds: Still no white smoke from new Big East about commish. Are prez that clueless?  http://ajerseyguy.com”

Well he is Acclaimed so I guess he knows what he's talking about.

DePaul getting downtown arena.  Nice need them to start turning it around.  Chicago talent is important both for DePaul and Big East to tap.

What am I missing that makes DePaul basketball so attractive the city of Chicago is helping them build a stadium?
I know there's history, and I'm happy for Deapul, I like to see them do well.  But this is a program that is barely covered by the Chicago papers, and the city is partially funding a new stadium?


Must be tied to some casino development, as the article suggests.

Yea it's a little scattered.

"2. Count Marquette coach Buzz Williams in the camp that is frustrated about no commissioner being named of the new Big East yet. The coaches and athletic directors meet Monday in Florida and adviser and former Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe will be running the meeting unless someone is suddenly hired over the weekend. Williams said the same issues were discussed at the Final Four and he said he wondered if anything new could be talked about since there is still no leadership. The new 10-team Big East starts competition in August in fall sports. Marquette still needs one more game on its schedule with a slate that includes Ohio State, a road game at Arizona State, the three-game tournament in Anaheim, at Wisconsin and playing New Mexico in Las Vegas."

"• The newest name in the derby for new Big East commish – Rich Gotham. As in the Rich Gotham who serves as the President of the Boston Celtics, and is an alumnus of Providence College"

Sad if true;


Word out of the meetings of the new Big East Conference in West Palm Beach–5 star Ritz Carlton Hotel–is that selecting a commissioner IS NOT  a high priority this week. The ADS and coaches who are meeting are working on schedules and formats, but apparently the commissioner’s job has been downgraded to more of an administrator rather than a leader. The time frame for selecting this person still remains in the next few weeks, but it is likely to be a mid-level executive coming out of Fox television or the NBA, who can simply market the inventory in the new league that needs to  be marketed and very little else. The Presidents of the New Big East do not want a leader in the sense of Mike Tranghese, Mike Slive or Jim Delany. They want an office administrator who will follow the directives of the Presidents, which is to make money.

I was afraid this would happen.

What? This sounds like a bad move. Need a strong leader.

that sounds like something Harrington would want. lol Someone who could be controlled

In any business you need a strong leader to raise the bar for everyone else

Speaking of Harrington, a little off-topic but, do they have a new president in place or are they in the process of choosing one?

Everybody still buying into Bladshun's rants? 

"1. The new Big East pulled off an officiating coup from its competitor the American Athletic Conference when it landed veteran official John Cahill as its coordinator. Art Hyland, who is retiring as the old Big East's coordinator, will stay on as a consultant. The news of these moves was conveyed to coaches during meetings in Florida on Monday and Tuesday. The American conference was also interested in Cahill and will search for a coordinator. The two conferences will likely compete for the same pool of officials when they play on the same date, mostly Saturdays. The buzz on the meetings was positive as the 10 schools, with their coaches and athletic directors, discussed the future with their television partner, Fox sports. The coaches weren't tipped on the next commissioner, but were told a name would be revealed soon. The schools still don't know which days they will be playing on during the conference season as Fox plans the winter schedule."
