Very good news indeed. These are the things that will help the league win outside the conference, and that is where
the strength of the league will be determined. Make no mistake, the Johnnie game against the Cuse will have
ramifications. Inside board rooms at FOX, they will be rooting for St. John's while up in Bristol. ESPN staffers will be
rooting for the Cuse. ESPN grew on the backs of the original Big East. Now they will go overboard on the ACC as their
only pet. After all advertising dollars are what make sports work in this country, and winning is what brings viewers.
