Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 447539, member: 628"] Well, I wouldn't go that far. The self-interest of the hoops schools is almost assuredly going to harm them long term. There is no doubt that a media contract with either the 1991-2003, or 2005-2011, membership of the league would be far more lucrative than what they'll get with the existing membership or a hoops-only lineup. At this point they may determine that the hassle of dealing with the "non premium" football school geography is not worth even at best a small revenue advantage. But many of the decisions the hoops schools have made the past 30 years have led them to this predicament. If they *really* understood what was happening they would have been silent partners from at least the late 1980s onward and just be grateful that they weren't Holy Cross or Fordham. [/QUOTE]
