I assume the same... hence the reason for hiring the "consulting" firm. Kind of like when a school hires a "firm" to guage interest from potential coaches. I'm sure that, at minimum, back channel dollars have been thrown around.

Oh hell yes. Dat be a fact.

I doubt our new commish or consultants need numbers "funneled".

Hopefully they are going to be using their expertise to provide numbers to the others.

I didn't say anything about "funneled." That was somebody else. I just meant numbers are being shared.

I'm sure its been said in this thread, but I'm worried this 2 month window will be used by ESPN to get create and get teams to move out of the big east.

Ain't happening. Too close to finding out what we're gonna get paid.
