Negotiating 101: The best time to make a deal is when the other party is desperate and you are not.
And if that happens eight years from now, good for them. Marquette can cash the checks in the meantime.
Would Xavier ever let Cincy back in?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Negotiating 101, lecture #2:And you walk away if the desperate party tries to get more than it has to give back....
The Big East isn't your Average Joe. It's already someone that is dating Jennifer Lawrence, and worthy of that.
If Randy Edsall can turn Uconn's football program around again I can see a major football conference come calling.
I doubt it. Too many media contracts tied up for years and UConn won't bring the eyeballs to renegotiate.
This is the kind of thread that makes Scoop great. A lot of good points made on both sides here.
Agreed, but here, the scenario is essentially:We are dating Jennifer Lawrence. Kate Upton comes up to us and says, she wants to date you. You nicely explain, in front of Jennifer, that you are already taken. Jennifer quickly chimes in, I'm ok with her joining the party. Kate says, she's down with that too.No way you say no, because eventually Kate might leave and then you are back to only getting Jennifer...enjoy the ride while you can.
The problem then is JLaw says, hey remember to keep that awesome schedule we have going, you have to take Upton and this girl Carrot Top.All of a sudden you're checking out this Carrot Top girl from Dayton, Ohio. You know you are not taking Carrot Top for the team, hell you aren't even sure Carrot Top is a woman.
The big 12 may need to add two teams in the future in order to have a conf championship game to keep up with the other major conferences. If Uconn has one of the best football teams of the lower 5 conferences they would be an intriguing option if you left out geography. However, we've seen geography doesn't take priority with re-alignment. Houston and SMU makes sense geographically, but who knows how good Houston will be in football going forward without Tom Herman. Two options for the big 12 are Memphis, who has an up-and-coming football program and South Florida, who just hired Charlie Strong.
How many props can fit in a Chevy Cavalier?
I am highly skeptical of Ollie long term (in fact, believe he bolts to the NBA in next three years) but you discuss their RPI without context. Yukon has been devastated by injuries this year. The fact that they are in the top half of their league (substandard as it is) speaks well of their resilience.
