this mean they are starved for programming on their biggy network? what does this portend for UCONN if anything? maybe UCONN needs a branch campus in Balto to appease the biggy for their love of mid-atlantic America.

keep in mind: little biggy has only 3 natl champs in hoop since tourney got real by going to min. 64 teams/ they are currently bragging about their new mid-atlantic college park annexation bringing their 2002 men & 2006 gal hoop titles with them / they proudly list all their helms hoop titles from purdue 1932 back to others circa 1902/ funny stuff

The main reason Johns Hopkins was brought in as a Lacrosse member only was they needed another team. With Maryland, Rutgers, Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan, they did not have enough for an auto bid for the NCAA tourney. With no other school looking to add a team, and Johns Hopkins looking for a conference, it was a perfect match. Not only do they get a very strong Lacrosse brand, they get a very intense rivalry with Maryland.

Get back on your boyfriend's tit.

Pretty damn sure BIG also has 6 NCs since the huge hole left by Wooden's retirement, 1975, which brought a seismic, more fair evolution to the game. Led by IU, the BIG was the first NCG between two teams from the same conference: IU vs Mi (1976), the last undefeated team (IU 76) and some of the most televised games ever: MSU vs ISU (79), Fab Five vs UNC & Duke (91-92).

If you don't think the Post-Wooden era doesn't also matter, well then why does the Pac12 have only 2 NCs since he retired? Be mindful the Big 12 only has 2 NCS in the modern era as well, all won by KU.

In the end, and as much as I liked the Classic Big East, it was tailored for basketball, same goes for the ACC until they added VT and Miami.

Sure more NCs are needed for the BIG, but the BIG boasts the second best winning %, all time in the tourney, & is now tied for the most FFs with the ACC. It's the deepest league & has been for much of basketball history.

The NCs will come.

Bottom line, most UConn fans prefer the BIG, get over it.

If you're so content with ACC dominance, then why bother on these boards? Wait, please don't answer.

But here is what is outrageously funny: the BeeOneGee is far too powerful and important to consider offering ND in everything but football, which includes lacrosse, but offers Johns Hopkins in lacrosse only.

The BeeOneGee would have taken ND as partial member any day before taking JHU for lacrosse only. The BeeOneGee is many things that are bad, but it is not stupid beyond all hope.

John Hopkins contributes about a billion more to the cic than notre dame would so with a simple lacrosse membership the B1G achieved a lot more than adding the drama that surrounds notre dame.

I guess chapwilvaug72's boyfriend has now chimed in.

Can you guys just beat a very average Michigan team for a change? Please try staying within 30 points of your opponent's in BCS games as well. Oh wait, that era's over now - nothing you can do about about 0-4. all-time, & your 30 points to your opponents' 300 or so points.

Has beens.

How many sports does ND play D1 in? All of them. How many sports does Johns Hopkins play D1 in? Two. Men's and Women's Lacrosse. They are taking in Johns Hopkins most valuable properties. You wouldn't let The ACC take yours. These situations are alike how?

Now, both the ACC and the Big Ten are hybrid conferences?

Sure, why not? There's no way you would even let yourself see things a different way. I could care less how you view it.

You asked, I replied. You must have cared or you would not have asked the question.

Earth to idiot -- did you really need to go for the stupidest post ever? Here is one problem with your comparison -- You think Hopkins is getting an equal share to Iowa of the Big Ten's revenues? Or you think maybe, just maybe, the economic deal that Hopkins got is totally different than the economic deal that would have been discussed with the Irish.

Note to moderators -- I don't think I'm the only one to be sick of most of our visitors on this board. It is one thing to have visitors here looking and at times adding to the conversation. It is entirely another that we have a handful of clowns interfering with any attempts at a conversation by needing to talk about their schools all the time from a double digit IQ perspective. Would it be asking too much to be a little more aggressive in banning our visitors who are not attempting to help further discussion but only to promote the interests of someone other than UConn? Thank you.

Correct me if I'm wrong but at some point in the not too distant past, prior to Hockey East extending an offer to ND, didn't the B1G offer ND a hockey only spot in their conference?

How would the niche sport of lacrosse be viewed so differently in your eyes than the niche sport of ice hockey?

You're wrong.......it was certainly discussed amoung fans, but no such offer was made.

Either the above newspaper is lying or you are.

Notre Dame was technically invited for hockey by the Big Ten... as part of an all-sports invitation. Please see the quote directly from the article that you posted:


Paul Kelly, president of College Hockey Inc., said Tuesday the Big Ten Conference has asked Notre Dame if it's interested in joining a new hockey conference.

"The invitation has been extended," said Kelly, whose year-old company is working with the NCAA to increase the profile of college hockey.

"But as I understand it," he added, "the Big Ten's rule is that if you come in for one sport, you come in for all of them, and Notre Dame is interested in keeping its independence in football."

That seems to indicate the Big Ten is not interested in adding satellite members to a new hockey conference.

So, the Big Ten NEVER extended a hockey-only invitation to ND. It was only a piece of what the Big Ten has always insisted upon from ND, which was an all-sports membership. As noted elsewhere, there is a very large difference between inviting Johns Hopkins as an affiliate (whose *only* D1 sport is lacrosse and is otherwise a Division III school) in a sport where the Big Ten specifically needed exactly one more school for an auto-bid versus affiliate members that aren't bringing in their own D1 football and/or basketball programs.

The article stated that ND was extended an offer. You claimed that there never was an offer, only discussed among fans. You may want to lay off the mushrooms moron.

Tank, the article specuilated that the offer was part of an all sports offer. The offer was for hockey only but under the premise that it would eventually lead to compelling ND in for all sports.

You're really reaching. The "offer" was contingent on ND joining for all sports. A delay would make sense because ND had an existing NBC TV football contract. Now that might have been 5 years later, but it certainly was not a "hockey only" offer.....and you can be damn sure that ND hockey would not have been in the Big 10 without a firm commitment that football would follow.

Bolded by you, Hockey Only

Maybe my reading is a little off, I'm just a simple Yooper, but it seems you indicated originally that the offer was for Hockey Only. No where does that article state there was a hockey only offer to lure ND in full time.

This is completely mistaken.

Before Notre Dame went off to the ACC, it proposed a counter plan to the Big Ten where it would join for all sports except football. The Big Ten flatly rejected that plan. Further, Notre Dame made a second pitch to just join the new Big Ten hockey league. The Big Ten rejected that too.

This is something Notre Dame won't say in public because it destroys the perception that they preferred the ACC over the Big Ten, but they tried to get into the B1G as a full member sans football. The Big Ten didn't go for it.

I would be willing to pay $5 a month to have the ability to, "by group consensus", ban certain posters. If someone gets 10 "banned" votes, they are gone for 90 days. If they get 20 or more it's gone forever.

Set it up and give me your Paypal email Tom/Fishy. :rolleyes:

Oh...and Tom/Fishy get one save per month. Kinda like Boneyard Idol. :D
