Madison Square UConn
Screw you and FSU.I see all of the hockey talk (might as well be Greek to this southerner).
Anybody talking baseball? Anybody care about baseball?...the season is alive.
If I remember right, UConn was one of the better northern baseball clubs....Went to a Super regional not that long ago.
Congrats on your win today.
I didn't realize how much respect Izzo has for Calhoun and Ollie. If he has any say in expansion I bet he's in your corner.
i think the b10 is all about the gravy train and they are proving it. so i still hold that the 18 i guess should be the 18 and that 20 down the road is a def also. lets say 2 of cuse/bc/gtech/kan are in the running for those spots. anyway, to the bball thing. i think the b10 is in a unique situation to do it. lets say the split happens and the 7 bball schools take the big east name for example here. of those 7 i see this.
prov-ri cable boxes/uconn matchup
shu-nj cb's /ruty matchup
sju-more nyc presence-open matchup but national known brand(possibly nd)
nova-phili cb's on top of psu/ruty. psu matchup
gtown-dc cb's/md matchup
marq-wisc cb's /wisc matchup
dep-chi cb's/ nwest matchup
the b10 network just got better prices in all 7 of those markets.
now explore:
creighton-nebraska
drake-iowa
wichita st-kansas
stl- ?(illinois maybe) (mizzu market that is held by b10 without mizzu, why they passed on them and mizzu went to sec...)
oak/det-mich/msu both possible but not high on list i would think
bradley-illinois
dayton-tosu
butler-purdue
xavier-ind
duq-?
siena-syracuse
w&m-uva
bu-bc (if u bring in bc, with bu's aau thing u make them a associate member of the b10 puck league also...)
david-unc
just something to chew on...i think u could make a pretty nice bball only league and pick your 16 or 18 from that list pretty easily...
just imagine the b10 network with a tier 2 deal. espn gets the league for 2 or 3 mil per team and gives them ok slots in winter programing but behind the big boys. b10 network gives them double headers on wd/fri nights and some weekend slots. killer $ opp for the b10n and a absolutely killer idea for them to OWN the footprint in both fball and bball. some 1 has to have visions like this. i have never once seen this talked about on a message board, but it sure imho should make some b10 person at least look it up and see if it makes sense. sure seems like it would. imagine owning anything thats relevant in the north east of college sports. then lets talk about taking over HE by taking nd/uconn/bc/bu. HE could be its small league still but a step behind the b10 puck league. and then lets talk about how w&m, nova, gtown, butler and all those teams all create there own b10 jr fcs football league as more of a partnership among everyone. they become a monster fcs leave with tv money and so on....i great ideas and visions.
does HFD have a new twitter handle?Dooley said:Hi, HFD.
And I grew-up watching a kid named Brian Leetch play hockey (and baseball) for my high school, which explains why Gary Bettman’s vision of NHL teams down in Atlanta, Tampa, Miami, Phoenix, etc. is so foolish.

Beyond bad? Compared to what? Their supposed to be among the best of the OBE? Especially the weight room? Im not up on that stuff but remember what they've had to work with and I know the Hoops end is well below par but Shiano/Mulcahy/Pernetti were/did make FB there mission!! I hope you didnt think we'd be at U Mich or OSU/Neb levels? Have you seen SU's or Pitt's?Rutgers facilities are beyond bad. They have no choice but to forge ahead with a massive overhaul just to be at the bottom of the conference facilities wise.
I wonder what would have happened at RU w/o the B1G invite where CIC money will supposedly dwarf what comes from athletic's? Ive heard B1G afiliation helps academics MORE than the other way around? As Ive said im not a big follow the money guy...just curious!?! What did Vivardi say just previous to that statement? Are Killingsworth and his ilk clamoring for AAC afiliation now?I certainly hope the private donors are starting to line up with their checkbooks since so many were disappointed in Tyler Phommachanh's firing for the PC hire of JH!!“This is going to suck endless money out of the academic mission for at least eight or nine years,” said Mark R. Killingsworth, an economics professor at Rutgers who has studied the athletic department’s balance sheets.
Have to wonder if that will affect Rutgers' academic standing. The donors better be ready to spill out their pockets. Where's Mr Burton??

I know nada about finances but have read CIC is B1G so I dont know what to make of it? Is it all exagerated BS? Im just curious as no matter what NJ got a golden ticket compared to almost any other struggling former P6 teams or G5 .,,,the lifeline and we need 1 here in the next 2 yrs to keep the FB team going/trending up. Its unreal the budget constraints UConn will be under soon on Aresco's deal! I think somethings gonna break soon and not in both Fla directional's!?!
