It's official: We are no longer members of the Big East conference

[Quo Vadis]

Mike Aresco, the worst excuse for a commissioner ever, says:

 

"I am pleased that this agreement has been reached," Aresco said in a statement. "With the long-term well-being of our outstanding institutions and their student-athletes of paramount importance, each group worked through a number of complex issues in an orderly, comprehensive and amicable manner marked by mutual respect. We part ways as friends and colleagues and look forward to the success of both conferences."

It wasn't exactly Aresco's fault. He bought a 5 pound bag of violation which was leaking all over the living room.Look at the bright Side, we no longer have to read that chirper at the ESPN blog.

Tulane???

There is one thing that I haven't read or seen anywhere.  Did any part of the negotiation include a certain number of future OOC basketball games between the Big East and the America 12?  That would be one way to keep the level up competition for our basketball teams higher in the short term.

Strangely, it doesn't feel different at all.

C'mon, Brad.  It is VERY different.

Just trying to cheer up.

Maybe. But the basketball teams left on his watch, and someone said it was because of Tulane

IMO, Aresco talked a big game but in the end, a brain injured monkey could have produced the same results.
