Message: [QUOTE="SU2NASA, post: 128677, member: 800"] Screw the Big East, WVU's lawsuit may be poorly written (though with a WVU education, not surprising), but they're right. The Big East's actions have diluted West Virginia's value and have been harmful to the value of their assets as an athletic program. It has to us as well, or we'd be staying. I agree with letting the Big East schedule however they want with us not in the room, and telling them that we won't show up. I also would tell any of the basketball schools like St. John's, UConn, Georgetown, and the rest of the northeast mouthbreathers like Seton Hall and Providence that we won't schedule them if they want to hold our feet to the fire. They need us a lot more than we need them, especially Georgetown, who only sells out when we come to town. And it's not like we won't be in the area with playing Maryland who is only a few miles down the road. I don't see how the financial damages are any more than the value of our television royalties on top of the buyout, which we would make back in less than a year in the ACC once their TV contract is renegotiated. The Big East not having enough teams to qualify for a BCS bid next year without us, Pitt, and WVU isn't our problem, it's theirs created through their inaction. It's one thing to not like the terms you agreed to in retrospect as the Big East alleges, it's another for the conference to not live up to its responsibilities to protect the value of its member institutions. Both parties have to act in good faith, and I think WVU is right in that the basketball schools have not acted in good faith with the football schools. If the Big East acted in accordance to their responsibility to the football schools, then SU, Pitt, and WVU wouldn't want out, there's proof enough. Screw the Big East, I want out of this shitshow. Let them burn due to their own incompetence. [/QUOTE]
