Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

The Big East is actually in a great position to get swallowed up as part of their cartel. They don't have to feed them with football dollars but they get a whole region of the country and more programming in the winter.

If at the end of all this there's an appetite for watching college sports in the entire northeast and the Pacific coast, I'll be amazed.

Not a bad point

The Northeast has never been a part of the college football word, those college basketball fans aren't going away.

Never? Yale and West Point kinda disagree. Never goes back a long time.

Burn it all down.

They will keep raising prices for everything and then the collectives will beg for everyone’s money.

We need two divisions

I knew there would be one.

If you don't count Syracuse, Pitt and Penn State as the northeast your right. Cuse with Don McPherson and Donovan McNabb had some great teams.

Certainly has potential to be that way. The power 2 has gotten way out ahead of themselves because they see all the money and power.

No. Cartels don't like to share. They're getting past the stage of conscientious forethought and moving into the two ton gorilla phase.

Why would they want to dilute their basketball with more mouths to feed?

 

[Bongo Fury]

Because “we’re hungry Huskies”

 

[JMick]

Why would they want to dilute their basketball with more mouths to feed?

Because they'd presumably be paid more for more content. It's not like the basketball only teams would get paid much.

 

[noeynox]

BC too

BC never did much other than Flutie.

 

[superjohn]

Why would they want to dilute their basketball with more mouths to feed?

Why are the other conferences taking on more mouths to feed?

 

[Kolumbo]

Why would they want to dilute their basketball with more mouths to feed?

If they know what they are doing they would actually be making their basketball more concentrated rather than diluted. Bring in more sugar than water.

Money talks

Money talks....but looky, looky...it is talking about basketball.

 

[ZooCougar]

I knew there would be one.

Well, I’m right.

If college sports do not matter in the northeast I guess we can just move the Brooklyn and Boston parts NCAA tournament to a dumb strip mall in Floriduh.

It is. But did you notice that in order to participate a school would be hand selected, as opposed to actually earning the opportunity?

 

[Jimdish255]

I also find it interesting to watch an entire industry destroy themselves

We're watching greed do that. It's really a handful of powerful ego driven executives and donors that got us here. I don't think the universities on their own ever would have chosen this path.

Is it this Seth Berger?

Why would they want to dilute their basketball with more mouths to feed?

Exactly

They will not allow these little conferences to continue to suck down these juicy NCAA credits.

The big conferences will continue to build walls and barriers around the money and elbow the small out of the way.

This has been in the works for decades. Barry Alvarez used to talk about it openly. They simply think that they have invested more and they shouldn’t have to share.
