Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 560831, member: 652"] Newsflash, these schools HAVE SMALL FANBASES and won't move the needle nationally. In the 80's kids stayed multiple years and the average sports fan knew Ewing at Gtown, Mullin at St. John's, Pinckney at Villanova, Pearl Washington at Syracuse. Today, college basketball isn't watched nationally by the average fan unless its a big time matchup instead its watched by the fans of the teams involved mainly. Only Creighton, Marquette average more than 10k in their arenas and the only national brands in the new conference will be Georgetown, and maybe Butler due to their back to back Final Fours. If you think this conference is going to be the 3rd best your entitled to your opinion, but I am letting you know I am sick of you arrogant I am smarter than everybody else attitude in your posts and your not always right. 1980s cable TV is not 2010s cable TV. Is the Catholic 7 conference good winter inventory for FOX? There is absolutely no doubt in my mind it is good inventory, but these teams outside a couple of them Gtown, Nova, Butler, Marquette will not move the needle nationally and when games like Butler-Seton Hall or Georgetown-Providence we will see how successful this conference can be. With that said the conference is not worth 12 years 500 million dollars that FOX paid? The answer is no and I realize they had to overpay to get them to jump, but you just seem to be more interested in getting in pissing matches and seeming like the smarter guy congrats on being a gunner. I respect a poster like Billsin01 who isn't interested in seeming like the smarter guy just giving his opinions and getting his points across in a non-gunner way. [/QUOTE]
