Add Borman, Rasheen Davis, another quality AC and go to work. Practical hire at this point.[/quote]
Thank God for Mike Cragg. I mean seriously, what other AD in the country could've delivered TIm Cluess to St. John's. Masterful work here.[/quote]
I get it and frankly am disappointed in the way a lot of things were handled in the last week. I am assuming Cluess, but must say this process is so cloudy that nothing would surprise me including someone we are not even thinking about.[/quote]
Mike Rhoades?[/quote]
Only 46 and close to 20 years as head coach. My pick, but I also think Cluess can be successful here.[/quote]
Solid hire. Good basketball bio.
Why not Shaka Smart then? He’s on the hot seat and he admitted that. He seems more like a Big East guy than a power five guy to be honest. I love his style...just don’t think it works with most top 50 talent.[/quote]
Funny Nova and Marquette and GT think we are a power conference and stepping up to try and keep the big east this way. Remember that Fox deal is only 10 years. The old ACC does not like expansion, but the new ACC is a business and would love nothing more than to come in and take Nova and GT and split the conference in two and have all teams play each other 2x a year in their conference. have a playoff. That would give the ACC with its own network, an additional Fox deal..ooh my how would the big east survive then with no network, and no TV deal? you may get the mid major tag in a few short years..[/quote]. Curious that you think only Nova and G’town would be the targets of the ACC or would accept a bid from them ? I’m not criticizing you nor insulting you . If it’s a Network situation , the NY Market is more important than Philly or DC or Milwaukee . Second , the recent defections of BC, Pitt, Notre Dame and Syracuse to the ACC hasn’t resulted in those schools bring anything but , mid pack or lower tier programs . I would bet money that Boeheim and Brey would jump back to the BE in a NY minute . There are even rumors that ND regrets their decision , made by the same AD who is still paying Charlie Weis Millions to NOT Coach the Irish . That AD isn’t there anymore ! ND football doesn’t belong in the ACC and it only plays a handful of league opponents anyway . Their FB program could affiliate in any Conference as a stand alone and still play other sports in the BE . The ACC wouldn’t allow it .[/quote]
The scheduling for the ACC is not what the core ACC teams like..Outside Duke vs UNC, they are the only two that play each other 2x a year..NC state, UNC, and Duke like the home and away conference play. If you add a couple more teams and split into two divisions like football is. They can play 2x a year. The core Carolina schools didnt really want expansion. They wanted to keep the conference tourney in the area and not rotate to Barclays, but now its a business, and they do what the money says to do. Then you have to consider strategy and what is the Big 10 thinking or the SEC? So there is no room for being complacent. ND football stays indy through 2037 now. Nova gets them closer to the NYC market and NYC people watch Nova..The garden is available to the ACC and so is barclays. So DUke, UNC, Nova can all schedule games in the garden or Brooklyn..
