Around College Basketball

 
Donna Shalala isn’t a source for good judgment in my opinion . She moves around like a free agent in Academia . Likely she wears thin on any organization or School she affiliates with .

To the best of my Recollection , both Miami and BC left more for Football $$$$ than anything else .
Plus , ND joined the BE long after those 2 Schools exited as I recall . So the Academic BS she was peddling was just propaganda .
But , that’s Donna !

Don’t knock UMiami’s academics.


Miami is no longer “Sun Tan U” as it once was.

Today Miami is a solid academic institution ranked by US News as the #55 National University with a 28% acceptance rate.

I didn’t say it was good judgement just reasoning she used and supposedly the Big East proposal was better financially.

I know three kids who have gone to the U in the last few years. One graduated from Med School and is doing her internship, one has a masters and working for a consultant and the other is starting his junior year. Far cry from one guy my age who went to the U and had six credits after one year.

I wasn’t knocking Miami U . Only Donna . I know it’s a good School but , it’s a stretch to day they left for Academics is a stretch . BC too , opened the Collection Plate .

It’s not worked out well for the Eagles . They haven’t done well in BB or Football since they left the BE.

Again Big East offered more money for both to stay.

Again , No School leaves for “ allegedly “ better Academics . Just saying .

Besides the BE still had Syracuse , Pitt , Villanova, G’Town , Providence , UCOnn and us .

All good schools. Then , after they left we got ND . Better than , either , Miami or BC . Plus , G’Town and Nova aren’t chopped liver .

And , we are doing better Academically too . Fr Shanley working on that too. It’s not just BB with him .
 
Thats quite a dip in conferences. Good thing we don't have to worry about being sent to the MAAC any more now that we got Pitino...
