The Big East made a poor hire with Mike Aresco. This clown has done nothing positive for the Big East other than watch it implode.

We now have 2 teams (TCU & Boise St) that joined the conference to much excitement yet left without ever playing a game.

Will there ever be any GOOD NEWS for the Big East?

I can't believe USF is still stuck in this joke of a conference. Judy and Doug are sitting around doing nothing!!!

originally i thought it was a good hire but i expected a whole lot more...

Its an impossible post at this point. You have ADs and presidents who just flat out dont want to be in the conference.

Looking back, I still can't believe the Big East turned down the TV deal with ESPN thinking they could do better. I thought that was a disaster from the beginning and it has been bad news ever since. What a stupid decision by the Big East Presidents and Marinatto!

Although, it may be a next to impossible job, I just can't believe the extent of teams leaving the Big East (14 I believe) to just not the Big 5 conferences but now the MWC also.

The Big East and USF is due for some good news in 2013!!!

The Big East will never get any good news. The faster you realize this, the better off you will be.

What about Rozelle ?

And we discover he's on the Georgetown board.

As soon as he added Tulane and ECU I realized his 'strategy' would kill this conference. Yeah some of it may have been inevitable but the hoops schools debacle did NOT have to happen. Look, all this guy knows is the TV deal side, by the time he actually gets a deal signed he will have lost all the value in his conference. If he is smart it will be a short term deal because pretty soon there will be nowhere to go but up. Pray for an ACC fisting or something of the sort.

People were praising this hire to the heavens. It hasn't worked out, but to his credit he stepped into a really ****** situation.

The lead teams to reject the espn deal were Pitt, rutgers and Georgetown I think. Turned out well for them.
