'Catholic 7' eyes big TV deal

[charsibb]

The arrogance continues.

It's not arrogance if you really ARE that good. It's confidence.

They always wanted complete control of the BE. Now they want bigger shares of the new conference than anyone else they add. These seven destroyed the BE, and they will tear apart the new conference as well.

This is nothing new.

They always HAD complete control of the BE

They CREATED the BE, and only created the football league to grab some of the money afforded by the bigger pie.

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

They could have grabbed some of the money from the larger pie had they shared control.  Instead, they drove out good football programs over the years.

They WERE the BE and put it on the map. Remember the 1985 Final Four?

It's really the best move for them, they stay as a group and chances are very good they can add a couple more quality basketball schools and remain as a premier basketball conference with multiple NCAA berths every year. They also can avoid the constant re-alignment that has been happening in recent years which is all because of football TV deals.

Meatball Maranatto asleep at the wheel destroyed the Big East conference. These teams just maximized their finances by going solo, nothing wrong with that.

The Catholic 7 aren't as good as they make it out to be.  Since 2004 the Big East football schools have made it to the Sweet 16 20 times and since 1996 they have been in the Final Four 7 times.  The Catholic 7 have been there 8 and 2 times respectively.

This!

Their glory days have passed them by. I'd classify them as solid still but not great.

BS!...no way they end up with more money when it's all said and done. Pure biased speculation.

[Bull Martin]

Maybe USF can be a football only member of the big East and join the Catholic 7...
