Remember when Paul Tagliabue was going to be the savior of the Big East?

Whoops.

I think all those guys had an impossible job.  When everyone is looking out for themselves, tough to keep 18 institutions on the same page while adding others.


My question is going to be if Mike Aresco is still the commissioner of the new Big East if this all happens today.  I'm lying low, haven't sent him a note in weeks because I figure he is absolutely up to his eyeballs in stress right now.  I would love to have him negotiate our television contract.

A fantastic conference.  Played a true round robin yet the Conf was so small we could still kill it in Non Conf. In 94 we played this Non Conf Sked:

Wash St
Illinois
Ohio State
UWGB
UWM
UW
San Francisco
Arizona
West Va
Va Tech
ND

Plus over half the conf made the NCAAs.
