Even I remember the "TripleA" incident. That was a really nasty time.

You just insulted the utter morons by calling Wolken "smart".

Come on. That's not right. Wolken is a lot of things. Arrogant. Obnoxious. Whatever. But dumb is not one of them.

I agree about the basketball part and why the Catholic schools won't split because they're not going to get as good a TV deal on their own as a bb-only league.

Good points below.

Quote:But for as much as realignment has changed the landscape of college sports, one thing hasn’t changed. The Big East was the No. 6 conference before, and it will be the No. 6 conference after. The only difference is the gap between No. 6 and No. 7 has grown wider than ever.

It’s debatable whether the Big East is a nationally relevant football conference now, but by grabbing the schools it grabbed, it has made every conference beneath it irrelevant. Who knows whether that translates to huge television money, but the marketplace for college football is better than ever. The schools that brought their football programs to the Big East stand to gain significantly more visibility and television revenue than they ever could in the Mountain West or Conference USA.

As the great TV philosopher George Costanza once said:

It's not a lie if you believe.

Hint: Just because he wore knee pads slurping up everything Calipari was serving at Memphis, doesn't make him smart.

Are you kidding? That guy hates Calipari. And I disliked Calipari before he even left, and documented it with some of my friends.

Look, if anybody should make fun of Wolken, it would be me. But I actually know the guy. Yes, he is arrogant and off-putting. But he is anything but dumb.

^ Okay, I'm good with that, but I actually know the guy, and have no incentive to like him, or defend him, lol.

Like him or not, but Wolken is not dumb, far from it.
