Message: [QUOTE="Day2, post: 2929804, member: 5348"] It’s both. The officiating won’t change. We were screwed in plenty of Big East games over the years, but plenty of our opponents received the same treatment. It doesn’t even out in the ACC. And I believe being in this conference has hurt recruiting as well. Other factors have been discussed ad nauseum, but this one tends to be overlooked. When we were going after northeast players while in the Big East, the Dome and JB weren’t the only selling points. There were also plenty of road games for family and friends to attend in person. Games that were a reasonably short drive away. The conference tournament was at MSG every year. Now there are less of those opportunities. Playing elite teams on TV probably isn’t enough of a selling point. I don’t know if that’s a nut JB will figure out how to crack. But his replacement must have an answer. [/QUOTE]
