The only thing obvious is the total inaccuracy of your claim. Not to mention it's irrelevance. Save the attacks on DEI for the Life Off The Ship Board where it's fair game for discussion.
Wow, she'll just have to quit now.
It doesn't matter Dan. She had the opportunity to publicly stick up for the Big East in a time when the football conferences are trying to take over everything ($). She crapped the bed badly, waited too long and released a god awful statement that was hard to even read through. She showed her true colors and might have been good up to this point but needs to step aside now if we want the BE to play with the big boys. She clearly does not get it and missed her opportunity to stick up for the member schools of the BE. I hope this is brought up in the BE meetings this year by our AD and others. Time for new leadership if you can't be out in front.
It’s not something that is effective behind closed doors. The committee will be different in part next year. The call out has to be public as well. And in all due honesty , she is disrespecting a key constituency: the fans and alums of the BE. No crazy rants or histrionics. All she had to do was complain about the raw deal.
That's why I said IMO she took the wrong tact. But fireable? That's foolish.
All of what you said is true, except Pitino not wanting to be in the dance. You don’t become Rick Pitino if that’s true. There is no way he is thrilled he didn’t make it, and I bet you he thinks with where he had them they could have won a game or two with the right matchups.
Plus a sweet 16 run would’ve helped St. John’s NIL efforts 10X more than getting snubbed.
I wonder what the average poster on this site truly thinks the value of the product is worth in broadcast/platform rights fees.
The Q is what would the statement, reaction, response have been if 1 of the other Big East schools had identical situation instead of Seton Hall,...would the so-called self-proclaimed schools that carry more weight in Big East circles (UConn, Georgetown, Villanova) have seen a more profound statement/reaction/response? If you think that's true, then you have a gripe and a major problem.
Same is true for Seton Hall. I actually think that this year's team could've had a nice run in the NCAAs. It's difficult to prepare for your aggressive guard play and ability to penetrate without actually experiencing it. In our first matchup you blew our doors off. The second time we played we knew what was coming and adjusted. But in the tourney, teams are only going to get that first look and would've had to figure things out on the fly. That's tough to do. I think you had a very decent shot to still be playing. So, yeah, the committee took at least 4 million away from the conference, but they also took away the "big east is back" narrative that we would've had with four schools still playing.
