Big East offseason news

[The Sultan]

Butler vs Nebraska in Chicago. Interesting.

Every midwestern university has a significant alumni presense in Chicago.

[SoCalEagle]

Creighton loaded for bear!

Love that Creighton v Gonzaga match-up. We should do the same. Would be fun to host the Bulldogs at Fiserv.

[Mu8891]

Creighton has a very good NC schedule.

Anyone know why MU continues to NOT play in the Players Era Tournament?

It's a chance for 3 high level / high profile games.

Marquette has at Michigan and Mississippi State, vs. Wisconsin, neutrals against TAMU, Virginia, and Mizzou. Their schedule is great.

There have also been reports of Players Era not making payments and some weird things in the contracts players have to sign.

Anyone know why you're not complementing Marquette's non-conference schedule?

[Jay Bee]

Anyone know why you're not complementing Marquette's non-conference schedule?

How would you like him to complement it? By forming his own team and playing blue bloods?

Or did you mean to say 'complimenting'?

Interesting take on DePaul. We know their first half defense on us in MKE was pretty impressive.

Clearly a rope-a-dope.

Mike typing in all CAPS has me convinced.

Pitino as a source.  While you still haven't cited one.

The schedule is okay. Would've rather they used the extra game for a high major rather than another buy game.

The Players Era payment issues were debunked by Norlander last year. I think the issue there is more the source of the money rather than the legitimacy of it.

A source of what? "They have spent more than $X, PROBABLY."

lol, get real bub

Still miles ahead of your utter and complete bullsh!t.   Go to confession for bearing false witness.

I had no idea that your name is "Bub", but obviously JayBee knows. Why do you insist on going by Sean?

The line at confession for bearing false witness is around the world and continuing to grow longer.

A bit off topic, but I once heard about a boy being told that he needed to go to confession. He immediately replied loudly "my mom is the one who needs to go to confession!"

No further details were offered, and no one dared ask.

6 high majors with 4 neutral or on the road is a great non-conference schedule. Two of the six against projected top 11 teams, three more against projected top 50. And Mississippi State a bit lower.

I can't even imagine not being satisfied by the schedule.

It's fine. But 6 buy games is too many. And 6 high majors is pretty average. The only reason we didn't the last two years is because they threw away a home and home on Dayton. We had 7 such in 2023-24. Adding another non-con game means 6 should be the floor.

[The Sultan]

Not to mention, Radford was just like a high major. Still can't believe we scheduled them.

Bub, short for that cherished and beloved name from the old south or Rebel country, "Bubba"
