Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 670978, member: 289"] JoePa wanted in to bolster his basketball program. We he was turned down then demanded that the football schools pull out of the Big East and join an all-sports conference he wanted to set up. That's the basis for the claim that he was a "visionary". When that failed he demanded 2/3 series, where 2 of every three games would be played at Penn State. When that failed he bolted for the Big Ten. It was suggested at the time that perhaps a football only conference should be set up. He was against it because "It wouldn't be good for Penn State." That told us all we needed to know. [/QUOTE]
