No riddle just that Rutgers hit the lottery in terms of financial payout, academic enhancement, and visibility when it was offered membership in the Big 10. The last I knew the Big 10 per team pay out was substantially larger than the other P5 conferences.fordham96" post=414238 said:

#BREAKING: Michigan health department to suspend @UMichAthletics for two weeks after student athletes test positive for B.1.1.7 COVID-19 variant. A student athlete was the first confirmed case of the new variant in the state.

Not a Chris Mack fan, but glad he and Louisville gave an L to Duke & K today.
Conference tournament week is a highlight to every season. It gives every team a chance to dream. Big East Tournament quarterfinal Thursday is my third favorite day of the season, right behind the first day of the NCAA Tournament and Selection Sunday.But this year there should be no conference tournaments, as much as it pains me to admit.
This season has been all about getting to March, about playing a tournament COVID-19 eliminated last year, about the big money March Madness produces at a time athletic departments are hemorrhaging cash.Conference tournaments would not help that endeavor. If anything, they would hinder it. It’s a risk the sport does not need to take.By not pushing the tournament back, by having the First Four on March 18, and the first round on March 19 and 20, the NCAA eliminated any wiggle room.
The major conference tournaments are all scheduled to end on either March 13 or 14. The turnaround is just not long enough to withstand positive tests, especially since the NCAA has mandated that every player and coach on a team must test negative for seven consecutive days prior to traveling for the tournament. I’m sure there will be a few conferences that could create somewhat of a bubble for their postseason tournaments, but that doesn’t seem feasible for everyone. What does seem likely are teams contracting the virus, and having to miss the Dance, creating chaos.

If Fordham had waited one day they could have fired Neubauer on his 50th birthday. Aside from that, they should have fired him months ago and hired Pitino. Would have been the biggest splash they've made since Neubauer was two months old.
