1) there's already a thread on thisjordo212000;929220 wrote:Boston College's AD is insinuating that ESPN helped lead to the mass exodus of schools out of the Big East. Apparently the Big East turned ESPN down for a new television deal and ESPN didn't take it too lightly.
He also said this about basketball and it's place in expansion/realignment: "You don't get extra money for basketball. It's 85 percent football money..."

lol. How am I trying to rehash that Boise argument? Somebody else said they were in play and I suggested I wasn't surprised. My next post had zero to do with them. It was an article that was posted TODAY. I posted some of the key points from BC's AD.like_that;929260 wrote:Jordo is such a douche.

But there are also alot of reasons why they wouldn't get an invite. There are no more Nebraskas on the table. Everybody left has warts. Boise isn't perfect, but they make a lot of sense. Especially for the Big East who is trying to hang on to AQ status. Getting Boise will replace the sting of TCU and Pitt's departure. The Big East is trying to stay relevant.

And yes, if you look at this thread and the other thread, plenty of people are talking about realignment? Today there were 14 posts alone inside of this thread. I have no idea what you mean by that?

I don't think so and I don't think you were ridiculed (having a difference in opinion doesn't mean you're being ridiculed). You said the Big XII "needs" TCU. I said that would only be if they need a warm body to keep the league from dying. Well, they pretty much needed a warm body to keep the league from dying. The Big XII looks like crap for having to compromise itself on these teams they'd have never given a second thought to for the last 15 years. TCU was a desperation pick up, nothing more.El Jefe Grande;929527 wrote:You underestimated my knowledge.

We can't all sit around the house refreshing Ohio Chatter and "pwning" people. I love how you seem to know how many days it has been since I made that post. That's so sad.

Also considering the fact the thread involved a game from last week, it is safe to guess that it was 5 days. I would expect anyone to be able to do that type of math, however you did go to Marietta after all. Also lol at trying to act lik you have a life, and make it seem like all I do is memorize threads and arguments in threads, while you are "too busy" at your entry level job. That's why you brought up the "small market baseball" argument a few weeks ago, after we didn't even discuss it for a whole baseball season. Nice contradiction fail moron. I would love to hear your spin and excuse on that, because we all know you are full of those jokes.
I am still waiting for your reach on how CoA and I ran amok in Bengals threads, and S&L is still waiting for his response on Boise. Please respond with something completely off topic again. It is a great way of making yourself seem more of a douche bag. It is always good for the lulz.
spot on. i think oklahoma drove the bus on the tcu invitation probably because of their desire to play an additional game in the dfw metroplex. hell, as we speak, the sooners are probably trying to set up an annual game with tcu at jerryworld.enigmaax;929842 wrote:I don't think so and I don't think you were ridiculed (having a difference in opinion doesn't mean you're being ridiculed).

The other difference in our opinions has yet to play out. I say they're bound to be middle-of-the-pack to bottom dwellers within the next few years. Basically, they aren't going to come near the success they've had since bouncing around from second tier conference to second tier conference. I took your statements to mean you think TCU is going to compete with Oklahoma and Texas, etc., year-in and year-out. Let me know if I'm wrong, but we're going to have to wait and see on that one.
