Finally, someone speaking for the BE who has a brain, and isn't afraid to use it.

I think that will become the norm now that the Providence Mafia has been ousted from power.

The adults have finally made it home.

The Big East has operated like a teenage weekend party for far too long and now some veteran supervision and guidance when a serious and measured approach is needed may finally be here.

Game on.

Great Dig at former CBS Sports and now ESPN.com's Brett McMurphy (and others at both CBS Sports and ESPN)...where the fired Marinatto was the one crying in spilled milk (predicting DOOMS DAY for Big East since the conf fired him and didn't take his lead on inviting Villanova Football, etc...).

Marinatto was not crying spilled milk over being fired. In fact he hasn't said anything. Everyone needs to quit bashing people over made up imagined stuff. The guy lives the league. All he ever has done us work for the league his whole adult life. It was him who kept the league together after the first raid by convincing the schools that adding UofL, Cincy, USF, Marquette and DePaul was a good idea. Four out of those five were really good additions that made the league we all know and love. Bashing a guy like that for saying something he never said is sad, immature and uncalled for. Should he still be commish? No, not at all. Does he deserve our respect for what he's done for this league? Of course he does.

I salute you for having the courage to make the above statement. Perhaps Marrinato needed replacing, but I think his heart was probably in the right place. No use kicking a man after he is down.

Marinatto's heart was always in the right place. He was just a holdover from a different era of college sports.

Yep. Marinatto was not the right guy going forward, but that's honestly not his fault.

Actually, while I understand why he earned the nickname of "meatball", he selected the best replacement schools to counter the obvious football quality issue. He deserves kudos for his courage on that, albeit he was a year too late in acting.

Thats not his fault, thats the members fault. They are the ones who decide to expand or not, and they are the ones who decide on who to add. The FB schools couldn't ever agree on who to bring in. TCU was a slam dunk but no could agree on who else. Some wanted UCF while some blocked it, some wanted Memphis while some blocked that. Some wanted further penetration into Texas while some blocked that. They wanted Army and Navy 4 years ago but those two balked at a strange semi-FB membership.

Yes, if they added Houston, UCF, Boise, Memphis and SD St along with TCU it might have helped stabilized the league but hindsight is 20/20.

I don't think anybody coming in would have kept anybody from leaving, especially with the new TV deals being announced long before the Big East's.

However, I can certainly vouch for the "some wanted Memphis and some blocked it" part. I lived through that, very painfully. I managed a full recovery, though. 03-lmfao

Btw, the majority of those who blocked Memphis have left the building now.

Great Dig at former CBS Sports and now ESPN.com's Brett McMurphy (and others at both CBS Sports and ESPN)...where the fired Marinatto was the one crying in spilled milk (predicting DOOMS DAY for Big East since the conf fired him and didn't take his lead on inviting Villanova Football, etc...).

KL is correct though in that.....a lot of this is coming from McMurphy but based on his track record....it is McMurphy with the axe to grind. He in not an unbiased reporter......McMurphy is well connected but he also DOES take sides.

Yup. at those big east pressers McMurphy and Meatball were basically setting up golf and dinner plans while asking questions, meatball gets the axe and McMurphy takes said axe and starts to grind it. Oh well, he's locked up in ESPN jail now.

Its nice to have a real professional manning the turrent for a change.

From the article, this is what speaks to me,

"They are, I think, in a very good position in that the value of live scarce intellectual property sports rights are only going up," he said. "In this case they’re the last conference franchise into the market for a long, long time. The timing is actually very good. Hard to predict – I don’t have a crystal ball -- the actual outcome. I can tell you with great certainty there will always be a lot of buyers for valuable live sports rights and there’s only one Big East conference, that’s typically a very good place.

"There’s a scarcity element to here on top of the fact the media ecosystem is placing a premium nowadays on live sports rights. I think there will be a very favorable opportunity in front of the Big East. It’s not just going to depend on how well they think about strategically approaching the market and all of their packing they might consider.


It appears that we may be in the right place at the right time. I am really looking forward to seeing what happens in the next few months.
