Message: [QUOTE="jekelish, post: 20185, member: 82"] JB just indicated again that he wasn't really aware until last Thursday that this was going to happen. "It's all about football. If it was about basketball, we'd still have a nice nine team Big East league." Very sad to be leaving the Big East but excited about this new opportunity. "The people in Greensboro are mad at me already." - ha. He's trying to make amends. Big East has raided conferences in the past as well, and might do so again. It's just part of college sports. In 10 years, if there are all 16 team super conferences, what will become of the rivalries? Will everyone be happy? Hopes the Big East can survive and be able to move past what's happening with Pitt and SU. Asked about if he was consulted: "Do they ask you what your opinion is on new ESPN programming?" "Jim Boeheim coaches the basketball team, he has nothing to do with how Syracuse University is run." [/QUOTE]
