The Big East did take care of one piece of business, by hiring former UConn athletic director Jeff Hathaway for fill a role in the basketball operations of the league. Such a move allows Hathaway, who is scheduled to be the chairman of the NCAA men's tournament selection committee this winter, to maintain his position as chair.

That should cement UConn's resolve to stay in the league. I bet they change their vote on the $17 million exit fee to yes any moment.

It's like being your ex-wife's father's attorney. In a lawsuit against his daughter.

So much for it becoming Burton's New New Big East All-Stars.

I bet Calhoun is ecstatic.

Say what you will about him but he makes great copy. Had some nice words about Pitt & SU and he delivers multiple low blows to UConn's New England buddies. Is this the kind of ambassadorship the Huskies need if they want to get into the ACC?

I was thinking the same thing. What better way to get Calhoun to want to stay in the BE?

It sounds like a BS position made up to ensure a Big East affiliate heads the committee. Given the football fiasco, makes sense to keep hoops as pristine as possible.

Hathaway is not in that role a year from now.
