Providence's message board

No not just that. I figured since Providence doesn't have a Rivals board I would post the link above if anyone was interested.
Creighton set up a home and home with Gonzaga apparently.. I missed that.
Nice schedule for them.

That is it, similar since day 1, brothers in arms and have come out the other side together in success now.
No two teams have benefited more from the New Big East
And their coaching hires. The two coinciding is what did it. But very true, from a realignment standpoint it's arguable that outside of $$$ These two schools have absolutely benefited the most in all of CBB.
I would love to see the Big East come up with a scheduling arrangement where Gonzaga plays two BE teams every year in the non-conference, rotating as best they can. I'm sure Gonzaga would agree to that.
These schools benefited most due to massively increased tv exposure coupled with increased spending.
Just a matter of time before the Zags are in the BE. Especially if they keep making deep runs in the tournament.
Providence has an ex-soccer player who has become a hugely successful hedge fund guy that donates millions. His individual donations are probably at least 30-40 percent of what Pirate Blue collects as a whole annually.
Imagine if Seton Hall had an ex-athlete alum who they could rely on like that....

SH has had ex athletes who had long , successful pro careers like Biggio, Valentine, Vaughan, Sammy D., Grilli , Nick Gallis , and Mark Bryant who come to mind but whether they ever supported SH financially I couldn't speak to . I do know that Craig Biggio was very generous in his support to SH .
It's different being an alum who made his money in sports as opposed to one who made his fortune as a businessman. The people who made their $$$ outside of sports are probably more likely to write checks.
And the people who had pro sports career didn't have to pay for their education .
I do think we have parallels with the PC program and a lot of respect for Cooley. They are going to be as tough an out as anyone this year and we are in the middle of a four way if not six way BE fire fight with SHU, Nova, X, Butler, PC and Creighton. Even the Johnnies are not going to be easy with that back court and don't count out Marquette. 8 of the ten BE teams are potential record killers in conference play.
They sure dont hate us for that, but i think more so we are very similar type teams that any fan of college basketball can easily root for.
