C7 Announcement Rumor

[Warriors10]

Using the Old Literary Guild Landon beats FDR ruse? (ie I haven't read anything about Gonzaga on these fan-driven internet forums so they must not be coming!)

Zags are part of the mix. I am not sure where they are at in their thinking but they have a firm offer to join. Gonzaga will do what is best for Gonzaga. Unlike SLU, Creighton, Dayton, VCU, et al the Zags are routinely referred to as "America's Team." Check out Sports Center and they always call the Zags "America's Team." Solid Brand Equity, unlike the names being bandied about here. Zags are in the driver's seat on this, much like ND.

Its ESPN, they will say anything to make a story.

Never, ever heard this used for Gonzaga. Never. Ever.

Quit making crap up.

Really? Gonzaga has been called America's team for 14 years. You should open your mind and think for a change.

I could go on with references but what's the point? You strike as a boorish, loudmouthed lout who views opinions here as challenges to your manhood.

I thought the Dallas Cowboys were America's team?

And I'm not a fan of the Cowboys.

Please keep going. ChaCha isn't quite Sportscenter like you said.

I've never heard Sportscenter call Gonzaga America's Team, like you stated.

You should still be pissed I flat out called you out on bullshit earlier.

You strike me as someone who questions others opinion while slandering others with your own shitty opinion. I would have ignored you a long time ago, but someone needs to call out your crap.

How did that marriage work out? What was one of the reasons we got out?  Inequity.

The reason why we are getting out is that Syracuse, Notre Dame, Louisville, Rutgers, Pittsburgh and West Virginia all flew the coup for more revenue.  Which is the same reason why Xavier, Butler, Creighton, St. Louis and anyone else will come into this league even if it means they make less money then the C7 for X number of years.

Bottom line, if none of those teams left the Big East, we would still be in the Big East even though we would be making less money then the schools that have already decided to leave.

Love the "taste great -less filling" comment, and with that in mind I have changed my opinion and think the c7 have seniority status and any additional programs who want to join, well they have not invested in the conference and should not have the same payout. As for Gonzaga it would be awesome to have them join but the distance is just too much for that to happen.

Wow! I didn't think anyone ever changed their opinion based on a "Tastes Great, Less Filling" style argument.
