“It will continue. It will continue,” Thompson said. “Now, is it gonna be every year? I don’t know.

Thompson also suggested media members begin referring to Georgetown and their six new partners as the Magnificent Seven, and said they should not be grouped by religious affiliation.

How about the seven deadly sins?

Doesn't the name "Magnificent Seven" indicate a touch of pride? He's got one of the sins down right there.

It's rather slippery of him, don't you think?

Like the meteorologists: 50% chance of rain.
They can always justify that they were right!

Partly cloudy at best, lol

I think he is no stranger to gluttony as well.

No problem. We don't need to play them every year. We have Nova and St. John's, too. Two out of three each year - 1 home and 1 away, would be fine with me.

I don't see anything wrong with it. It's just a semi-quirk that all the schools remaining are Catholic Schools. If UCONN never decided to move to D1 football, I'm quite certain they'd be going along with the other 7 as well.
