ah yes I remember that thread... looks like the pdf got swallowed by all the other banter going on in that thread.  I read over the entire report and I know that its just one alum that put this together but I was impressed at how detailed he got.

I agree somewhat Smaz. The addition of Villanova makes no f'n sense from a competition standpoint, nor will it ever.

The good news is it keeps USF as the ONLY Florida school in the Big East

well they wouldn't get beaten by TCU 70-0, and the move has never been about competition, nor about keeping someone out.  It's about reducing dilution, bringing in a team to help even out scheduling, and bring in the 4th largest television market in the nation to the football side.

The rest is smoke and mirrors, and the sweet deal Nova will cut with the BE will give them more than enough money in the early going to get their program on a very healthy footing to at least attempt to be competitive.  Nova did beat Temple this year.

The Philadelphia TV market? Ha! That worked well with Temple.

I'd argue college football crazy markets like Birmingham , Orlando, or New Orleans would be more beneficial than Philadelphia who Is probably one of the worst college football markets inthebleachers country.

This is all I care about. I couldn't care less if it takes 'Nova 10 years to be competitive.

Joe you know the "Philadelphia Market" is not about putting people in the stands....it is about the number of cable boxes in the city.

IF a BEN can get the cable subscriber to put them on a lower tier.....Grandma "Never Watches Football" is paying in just as much as Die Hard Nova Fan.
