Campus sites?
Doesn't help SJU, PC, DePaul or G'Town.

Seton Hall - Rutgers probably won't happen as part of this initiative
They already have an 8 year contract to play a non-league game every year

@NYPost_Braziller: "Source says St John's could host at the Garden, despite on campus terming. Not a surprise at all obviously".
 
From the ESPN article:
Delany makes no bones about his desire -- and the league's need -- to have a presence in the New York market, especially now that the ACC already has laid claim to Madison Square Garden for future basketball tournaments.


Great job, ESPN. I really hope that was not written intentionally.

DePaul-Illinois no?
 
Maybe they'll give us Wisconsin because of this past year. I know it wasn't a road game. I doubt they'll put Wisconsin with them knowing that they'll play each other anyway. I love the news regardless. These type of things help conferences prove their worth.
 
The article said it won't be a territorial schedule. It will be comparative bases on accomplishments on the court and team prestige. So if we have an awful year we could be playing Iowa or Rutgers or penn state. If we make the tournament we will likely get matched with Michigan/MSU/OSU/Wis

I doubt geography will have much to do with the matchups. Several of the closest geographical matches already play each other like SH/Rutgers Wisconsin/Marquette Northwetern/Depaul.

Press conference scheduled for 12:30 today.

It will be eight games a year for eight years meaning that most likely each BE team will miss playing in the event once during this contract as the BE has 9 teams unless they do it by projected standings but that could mean a school missing out several times which I am not sure they will do.

It will be interesting to see how the Big Ten with 14 teams beginning this year will rotate their schools.

Also the BE is likely to expand within the next couple of years.

Did Zags write that? The BE has 10 teams, or am I dreaming, so 6 teams would miss 2 events over the course of the contract, and that's before expansion, of course the B1G 10 has 14 teams now so their teams will miss more.
 
This is an unbelievably great thing for the Big East. Rumor had it that they wanted to get together with another conference for one of these pre-season challenges. My fear would be that it was going to be the A-10. The fact that it's the Big Ten still shows that we are considered a major conference.

I also read that the games will be done based on competitive balance and not geography

Ackerman said St. John's-Michigan Creighton-Penn State were possible games in the Gavitt.

No he didn't that was my math error. I should of put the link up. Below the info about the preservation, it was my speculation. Sorry for any confusion.
