"It's exciting. It's disheartening as well. ... The Big Ten could ... they'll pick a couple of our teams. However, the SEC and the ACC will also do the same, so that's exciting. I don't know where we're going to land. We could land, whatever, in one of maybe three conferences, the ACC, the SEC, maybe the Big Ten.

"But right now, we're still Big East and we need to keep that focus. And that's the disheartening thing, when you break up a Big East contingency like we had. We had a lot of fun, a lot of rivals, and I hate to see that end. But there are exciting times on the horizon with new conferences. We'll be in one of them; which one I don't know, I really don't. But that's down the road a couple of years, I do believe."

With his graduation rate, not sure I care where he takes his act

Sure sounds like he's talking like he's been briefed on something, but I'm sure there will be a press release coming soon to "correct" his statements or make them as if they were just his own and merely speculation.

Academically they are a far better fit in the SEC than the ACC or the Big Ten.....

Good call. The backtracking occurred today.

This is the same a-hole who, when asked about the intensity and heart of his team after winning in the final seconds against a team that hadn't lost in forever to make the finals went off about how he was frustrated that they didn't play well and how they didn't listen to what he said at halftime.  I'll just assume everything he says is in a drunken stupor.

Is he a drinking man?
