I am sooo confused.I can only give you the long explanation....by my convoluted process...Actually documented....but don't ask for link... A couple had 20 close friends. and they were low income and co-misserated their economic situation...They played the Lottery won MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.....and since it was UN-EARNED windfall the other 20 close friends wanted/demanded/expected some of the cash... The couple did not do this to their friends demands.. ...one by one communication stopped and friendships lost...In the end there were no friends left..Hence --the money did not bring the happiness expexted.. The old three are like the couple and the Lottery winning --money from the BE breakup...The friends the NEW conference teams.... Its a no win situation for the old 3....Damned if we give money,,Damned if we don't its a NO WIN Thats my take on the present situation...The jealousy will kill this conference .....before it gets started...each member going after their own interest and no common good will....... SORRY TO EXPRESS THIS DOOM AND GLOOM Go BullsYou forgot to add that the unhappy couple had promised their reprebate friends an interest in any potential lotto proceeds if they moved closer to them and so the friends all sold their houses to move to be with their new friends just in case they might win. When they won the unhappy couple decided that they were not going to share. The friends asked at least for the costs in moving to to their new homes, as they did rely upon their promisees but that unhappy couple did not see why they should be responsible for their friends stupid decisions. They should just be glad they moved and were closer to their rich friends.false you are getting exactly what you were promised a conference with the big east leftovers as well as a bigger tv contract than you were receiving in conference USA. On top of that you are getting a million dollar bonus. This **** house is exactly what you signed up for and the only reason you and your band of misfits are even here is because the conference is in such embarrassing disrepair. We don't care if you are mad, we don't like you, we didn't choose you, you have nowhere else to go, we are embarrassed to be seen with you, $30 million hardly makes the embarrassment worth it and we can't wait to get on one of the last lifeboats and leave you to drown. Now sit down and shut up you will get nothing and like it because its your only choice. No we are not getting what we were promised (See I can argue like you too). Heck, even if UCF had said no to the Big East, the A12 would be knocking on the door again now because the conference needs us. Just like USF needs us. I understand your butt hurt and all but guess what? You have no place to go either. USF brings the exact same thing to the table that UCF does, which by itself is very little. From all I read the only lifeboat you have was made for two and the only way you get on is with us in tow. I can only imagine how that must frustrate you. But just maybe you will learn to live with us. the important diference between us is that where ever we end up we are going to have 30 million more dollars than you will and we aren't sharing. Why you may ask? Because **** you that's why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTrue Posted March 12, 2013 Group: Member Topic Count: 152 Content Count: 19,395 Reputation: 6,097 Days Won: 233 Joined: 01/13/2011 Share Posted March 12, 2013 UCF is still joining the same entity, just with a name change. The Big East is selling its name to the defectors but the remaining conference is the conference that UCF joined but with a new name. Happens with mergers and acquisitions all the time. When a merger happens, generally one side does not get to sell the name and goodwill after the deal is inked. But really, you cannot say that the conference UCF is joining now is the same it thought it was joining before. I guess you guys should have spent as much on the lawyers you paid to work on your Big East contract as you did on the ones working diligently to **** the Plancher family out of their money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who says they didn't? The neogitations are not over yet. Try reading his comment a little more slowly and do it a couple more times for good measure. He's talking about your Big East contract to become part of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that makes you feel better about being stuck with us. it's not ideal that's for sure but it certainly is a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. If anything we should be owed more for having to hangout with you losers but as you pointed out $30 million dollars and bag of **** seems like our best option at this point. Rest assured we aren't happy about it and want to minimize our time in this "league" as you can't play with **** without getting some on you. You are a joke, we don't care about goodwill, we don't want to make friends we want to leave you behind and wish you nothing but the worst, it's our money, we earned it and we would just as soon set it on fire before sharing it with your undserving Johnny come latelies that have further devalued our brand (something we once thought to be impossible). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess we will see how it all pans out for you since this probably the last time you will get to pretend that you are anything more than a mid-major program with aspirations of grandeur.
