as good as it gets for most of us is STILL better than being in the sub-belt. enjoy being banned.

That was quick......thank you CUSA moderators!

Greatly appreciated.

That was going to lead to a long line of comments none of us needed.

No he did not. He was trying to get into the Big East. (not that others would have turned it down; but they didn't have their resources focused there). This was "master-minded" by some Presidents who have been fighting for a decade for reasonable access from the BCS, who are trying to get the jump on the "super conference"
Holland has wanted regionality, which he may get through the Alliance.

He has been behind this. He has been lobbying Banowsky at least since 2006-2007 on this idea. Our own Chancellor credited him in a radio interview here in Raleigh with him being the mastermind behind this.

Your own Chancellor crediting his own AD on radio in North Carolina as being the mastermind behind the idea...that's proof? That's almost as bad as the "ESPN article" that started this godforsaken thread. TH has been saying for years that if ECU can't get in the Big East ("wait...what?!?...they answered the phone...OMG!!! Thanks, Marcy, there may be a bonus for you in this...Hello? Hello?!? Mr. Marinatto!!...Yes, sir, glad to hear from you so late on a Saturday night!...Oh, you're with the Big East Presidents?!?....Ah, playing some poker. Man time! Word!...What's that?...Well, yes, sir, I think I do have Prince Albert in a Can. Why?...Huh? Hello?...Mr. Marinatto?), anywho, as TH was saying, outside the Big East they wanted a conference schedule of regional teams. Saying that this "idea" counts as masterminding the concept that is the Alliance is like saying Thomas Edison masterminded the F-22 Raptor stealth fighter...because it has light bulbs in it, ya know?

If they wanted a conference schedule of regional teams, why are they entertaining the idea of this "Alliance"???

mwhahahahaha. Buh bye Cajunhawk

Geez - I hope this isn't really our "shinning" moment.

Sounds painful.

According to our AD and president we are a charter member of the alliance unless these idiots pushing folks to the Sun Belt know something the Alliance folks don't know. No happening. What a joke. Why would any of us even consider such a financial hit?

If you can't read I am not explaining it to you. Let someone else.

How is this alliance going to make UAB or Tulane a better team?

How is it going to make them look more attractive to TV markets?

How is going to make game day experience better?

How is going help recruiting?

Have there been any REAL solid numbers on what the Alliance media deal will be? Don't get me wrong, I doubt it will be anywhere close to as low as what the Belt offers, but it seems like all that has been leaked are really vague.

Could the lack of solid projections be the hold up for Temple?

That's the thing, they are all argueing how great they are for being in the "Alliance" yet no one knows anything. They don't know how it's going to work, if it can work. Who will be in it. How much money will the media deal be worth, of course there will be no media deal until we know who will be in the conference. No one knows anything about this except how awesome it is.

Better than the sun belt that's what it is.

How do you know, you sound like Nancy Pelosi with Obamacare. We have to pass the law so we can see what's in it. Tell me what it is, then tell me how great it is.

hey, . You don't want to get into a negative rep point battle with c-usa fans while on the c-usa board
trust me. It can only turn out bad for you.

I gave you a -1 because you came in weak on a response. Guess what, the guy that typed out that long rant, I gave him a + because he came in strong. You want a +, don't bring the weak sauce. As far as a rep battle, who cares what my rep is??? Until yesterday I didn't even know they were there.
