Not being well versed in fellow ACC presidents, was interesting that Loh came as a complete outsider but when he saw the $$ it sold him (parallel can be drawn to Leahy). Also the blurting out of a move years ago probaby knowing none of the ramifications (financially and from the fanbase) was interesting.
Ultimately I think the ACC is in a better place with in Louisville over Maryland on the field/court.

eagle9903 {l Wrote}:WVU instead of Pitt or Cuse would have been helpful. Rutgers(like BC) doesn't do anything for anybody except the B1G.
The potential split of the seven Catholic schools should allow Notre Dame and Louisville to join Syracuse and Pitt in the ACC next season, one year ahead of schedule, Irish coach Mike Brey said Thursday.
Notre Dame was supposed to stay in the Big East for a 27-month period, which could mean as long as the 2015 season. But the Irish have been negotiating an early exit.

"Because of our success in BB we have picked up fans in NYC and surrounding New England. I have two grandsons in college one in Providence and the other in Southern New Hampshire. Last year after a family day visit in RI we went up 95 toward New Hamshire to see the other grandson. We stopped in a huge Outlet complex 30 miles into Mass.(BC fans yes its your home state). The only local college gear availale was Uconns. We are the only national brand in New England let me repeat We are the ONLY national brand in New England. The fools who say we have nothing to offer the B1G are misinformed or unimaginative.

It sure is. My favorite quote of the week was this one:"Because of our success in BB we have picked up fans in NYC and surrounding New England.

So an outlet store in MA had Uconn gear but no BC gear SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, not only can we conclude that they are more relevant in Massachusetts but we also can conclude that this "gear" being in a neighboring state is evidence as to the NATIONAL BRAND of Yukon.
I get a kick out of the Uconn fans thinking they have any presence whatsoever in the Boston market.
Either way, puppy pound is a great read today for sure.

There is a reason it was at an outlet store, it didnt sell and had to be discounted. If you want BC gear you go to Brooks Brothers.
BC: First class pukes who deserve a moribund team that exists an afterthought in the ACC. It's too bad the fan base is so small and inconsequential because it would be much more fun if they had a large fanbase that knew that they needed UConn to make them relevant again. The more the merrier.

Agreed. I don't get much enjoyment out of any school's troubles right now, including UConn. BC is in a really vulnerable spot. But I don't think our situation will ever be as bad as UConn's current position because at the very least, I think we'll be in a conference with Cuse, Pitt, WFU, and UConn. UConn is not associated with any quality programs right now. The closest thing is Cinci.
HJS {l Wrote}:I see so many similar missteps under Swofford. From his first ESPN TV deal, to not caving to Texas/Oklahoma, to adding only 2 schools, to his handling of the ESPN renegotiation, to not getting Grant of Rights, to the caving of ND, to the adding of Louisville... it just keeps going on and on.

You know like half those things were definitely not possible and the other half are not very likely to have been possible right?

My new favorite is the grant of rights. I'm just not sure how this would go.
Swofford: "Mr. Barron will you grant your rights?"
FSU President: "No."
Swofford you bastard!

There are 7 things listed... I'd like the brain-trust of 9903 and pedro to point out the 4 that were not missteps.
