Love orangextremes statement of the facts. I understand if she like many is upset at the almost certain death of our former conference, I too feel that this is a sad time and will miss the BE. However to start pointing fingers, and getting personal about it as a journalist writing an article is unacceptable, and unnecessary. What did she want us to do? Stand and hold the "banner of the big east" against all odds as everyone else makes deals to leave? Sorry, been there done that. For once our university got out in front of the situation on their own. If anything this whole thing is a huge indictment of the BE's commish and his people. Never out front, never with a plan, not seeking any solutions that make sense. Yeah you can add teams from here to timbuktu, but if your league does not retain value enough to keep your bowl berth, your the MAC or possibly less. The whole mess of college athletics has been about escalating greed for the last 20 years at least. I will miss the BE. If we could have ever got it right (got Penn St., and kept the other defections from happening, even recently if we could have had some sort of BE/ACC merging) we wouldn't be where we are now. But this move is sad but necessary. Dana, get over it.
