read Stewart Mandel's piece on SI.com. No, it doesn't say what will happen to us. And no, I don't know how to post a link.

C"mon, man. You're a Trinity grad! Too many frat parties?You'd be amazed at what I can't do.
Good article. I like Jim Boeheim's take on it.

I guess it is ok for Cuse to do what is good for them but everyone else can't do the same ?
Yeah wasn't he making a lot noise saying the Big East had found their replacements and questioning why the Big East was keeping them hostage? Hypocrite.I guess it is ok for Cuse to do what is good for them but everyone else can't do the same ?
I think you missed the point. Individual schools aren't really driving the bus. It's the people who are in charge of the conferences that are deciding things. Few schools can choose which conference they want to be part of.I guess it is ok for Cuse to do what is good for them but everyone else can't do the same ?

The addition of Maryland wasn't the end, it was the means. The end is Virginia and North Carolina. The B1G's standing rule is that a new addition must be located in a state that is home to an existing member or that borders a state that is home to an existing member. The path to Virginia and North Carolina went through Kentucky, West Virginia, or Maryland. Obviously the B1G thought UMd a better fit than any school in either of the other states. The fact that it brought access to the Balto/D.C. metroplex probably didn't hurt either.

I said the same thing last week, but Frank The Tank interjected and refuted the whole contiguous bylaw thing as a myth.
He is one of the most logical and rational guys out there so I believe him. I think if they wanted UVA and UNC then they would have just taken them.
Now that I think about it, I just can't see Jim Delaney being constrained by something that dogmatic.
