Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 41946, member: 780"] If anybody is blameless in this whole mess its the basketball schools. They -- along with UConn and SU --- formed a great Eastern, urban, Monday-night playing basketball Conference. They acquiesced to adding football school after football school without so much as a whimper. Now the football appears to be falling apart. How is any of this Georgetown's fault? (And I loathe Georgetown) The basketball schools don't deserve to get screwed on this any more than they will be by losing rivals like SU and Pitt. It sure wasn't the BB schools that upped the buy-out penalty. But they had to live with it. They weren't building stadiums or stadium expansions betting "on the come" that things could only get better. They've been pretty much minding their own business and going along with what the FB schools insisted they had to have. If they get the $40M, I'd say they deserved it for putting up with all this FB insanity. [/QUOTE]
