Everything you need to know about Thompson was in the 30 for 30 about the Big East. He alternated between talking about how the Big East schools had to look out for each other, with asking why he was supposed to care about Syracuse and Pitt football. Guy was 100% about himself, although he paid lip service to greater purpose - but only because it gave him good publicity.
I can respect him for being a winner - but there’s literally no way to convince me he’s a decent human being.
