Jersey guy should have a Catholic 7 jersey made for him.  And then promptly retire his number after this alignment is all done.

Anyway, meeting between C7 to happen Wednesday (today) to discuss:

*Expansion: Butler and Xavier for sure, with Creighton "not far behind" for 2014
*New HQ location: either Providence or DC
*WCC commissioner Zaninovich and Dan Gavitt are top in running for the conference commissioner
*RU and Lville won't leave til after next season
*"America 12" may be out--Old BE mulling over including the word "metro" in their conference since everyone except ECU is in a metro area

"Mid-Metro Conference" sounds just like the Mid-Major conference they're becoming.  Perfect name!

I hope, for their sake, they are savvy enough not to put "mid" anywhere in their conference name.

"Savvy" and "Aresco" seem to be mutually-exclusive words.  I don't think I'd stop laughing for days if they did put "mid" in their conference name.

He's extremely savvy...very smart.  He was given an epic turd  week after he landed in the job.  They will survive.

He also didn't handle it well.  You keep glossing over that part.

So first I find out I wasn't even CONSIDERED to be the new Pope, and now I'm not even getting a look for Big East Commissioner?

I'll trust this over the NY Post rumor.  More what we've been hearing all along.  And I knew they wouldn't be bringing a program with one NCAA win since 1990 in as #10.

Jersey Guy mentioned that The Big Metro Conference has support. Not sure The BM Conference is the wisest

UConn is most definitely not in a metro area. Have you ever been to Storrs, CT?

In all fairness, by the time he got the job everything else was already in motion. A true no win gig.

True that.  Maybe they're already thinking past Uconn

Really?  Dang!  I was polishing up the old resume because they are going to need a CFO.  No way would I relocate to either of those godforsaken places.

To be fair, they play their bigger games in Hartford.....

At least I wouldn't have to move to work for the B16.

And I am certainly not moving from one godforsaken place to another.  Maybe they would let me telecommute....

Maybe they can put it in Nashville! You can be CFO and I'll be commissioner.

In the immortal words of Tatu; "Da Plane, Da Plane."  Few viewers of Fantasy Island picked up on this proof that Tatu was a native Chicagoan.

Actually, it proves that Tatu WASN'T a native Chicagoan.  A native Chicagoan pronounces it "Dezz Plainz".

Providence is small but it's a nice city.
