Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 42010, member: 780"] Two questions: How much football money do the BB schools get today? I thought they didn't share in the FB TV money? And, were you around in the 1980's? The Big East was a pretty big deal then and they might be able to re-kindle that. It certainly wasn't second tier then and the only DI FB schools in it were SU and Pitt. I wouldn't write off a BB Conference with Georgetown, Villanova, St Johns and maybe Xavier plus some others. I bet the would get a pretty good contract and a lot of exposure. Although football makes a lot of money, its extremely expensive. An AD once told me that you can have a basketball program for the same amount that the football program spends on J&J tape. It's not revenue ... it's profit that matters. [/QUOTE]
