If our conference winds up crappy like the MWC, we could be the Boise State of the east coast.

I love that people still criticize Marianetto, and are jumping on Aresco.  Marianetto recommended that the BE take the ESPN offer, which was very nearly what the ACC is getting.  The league presidents

They have one dedicated sports network and an online feed. They reports say they'd put an occasional game on NBC. In a 12 team league, there won't be enough times to even suggest they can match the nu

Winning will cure everything.

Not in terms of moving to another conference. It will not hurt but it is not the magic bullet.

In 2011, ESPN offered a new nine-year deal to the Big East worth $1.17 billion or an average of $130 million annually. However, the Big East's presidents voted to turn down the deal that would have earned football members nearly $14 million a year

Isn't this pretty much a moot point considering the 16 teams leaving the conference since it was offered? The contract would have been torn up, wouldn't it?

That's a good point but it doesn't fit the ESPN narrative.

It is a point but i wouldn't stretch it too far. First, had we been making $14 million per school per year, who would have left? All the schools that went to Power 5 conferences, sure. But would Boise and SDSU have left for the MWC? Nope, so the conference would have been more valuable than it is now. Heck, at that money, we probably snare BYU as well.

 

Second, even if the exact same schools left, these "look in" clauses allow some degree of renegotiation but they don't allow a conference or ESPN to just tear up the whole contract. Even with the radical change in membership, it seems highly unlikely ESPN could alter that contract down to anywhere near $2 million per school. Maybe $5 million?

Contact does not allow counter offer.

>Where does everyone get te idea that every Big East game will be

regulated online to ESPN3? Nothing being reported suggests that.

My points are that there is no indication that we will not have other

than Thursday night games, and why is Foxsports1 be any better than

NBCSports? I'm seriously not trying to argue, I just don't think that

it's a better deal as it stands now, "knowing" what we know.

And we wonder why the trophies are misspelled.

 

 

Your point?

The conference's anchors, UConn and Cincinnati, would prefer to join

the ACC. The league will add Navy in 2014 and could include Tulsa in the

coming months.

@HemUnit: @JFowlerCBS HEY FOWLER, USF IS THAT 3rd ANCHOR. Thanks for leaving us out, AGAIN!

@JFowlerCBS: @HemUnit That's a good call. Wasn't intentional. And I think it's fair. Will tweak.
