Excellent point on the ACC and the Ivy League Contract.

I hadn't thought of that. I'm sure it's been discussed on this board and I just didn't catch it. But it does point out how little BC and Syracuse do to "deliver" the Northeast when you have to prop them up with the Ivy League.

I'm with you on San Diego State, but I didn't mention them because I don't feel sorry for schools that don't seem to care themselves. If I only named one school, it would be ECU because of their passionate football fans.

So-conference wise, who are you feeling sorry for? -- Alicks 04/20/2018 10:48PM

You left out UConn. Nat’l Campion caliber basketball. No where to go. ** -- hokie-c 04/21/2018 10:26AM

Yes, I left out UConn. Because for some reason, I don't feel sorry for them -- Alicks 04/21/2018 5:08PM

They definitely do not have the passion for football that ECU has, not by -- RJHokie 04/21/2018 5:22PM

Excellent point! I had forgotten ECU/Big East snub... -- Alicks 04/21/2018 5:32PM

Temple just did not have the football fan base or commitment to football -- RJHokie 04/21/2018 5:38PM

Tranghese didn't like ECU for some reason. -- HOO86 04/24/2018 8:29PM

Don’t think Tranghese had the foresight to see that football was beginning -- RJHokie 04/24/2018 8:45PM

The Big East was always a basketball conference -- HOO86 04/24/2018 9:03PM

Tranghese let he Catholic basketball schools call the shots and it all went -- RJHokie 04/24/2018 9:14PM

Agree, but Temple was trying (and ECU was succeeding)... -- Alicks 04/21/2018 9:02PM

UConn needs to try to get back in the Big East, and play football in the -- RJHokie 04/21/2018 10:34AM

Unfair... -- 33laszlo99 04/21/2018 01:05AM

Excellent point on the ACC and the Ivy League Contract. -- Alicks 04/21/2018 08:30AM

The Ivy League isn't propping up the ACC. Nor is the Sun Belt the SEC. -- HOO86 04/21/2018 10:19AM

OK. So they have no fans. I don't feel sorry for them at all. -- Alicks 04/21/2018 5:35PM

WVU yes. ECU no. -- HOO86 04/21/2018 6:28PM

Hard to compare ECU in 2017 to those other schools. -- Atlee Hokie 04/24/2018 09:12AM

My beef is with the northern branch... -- 33laszlo99 04/21/2018 10:57AM

The Northeast doesn't watch much college football -- HOO86 04/21/2018 11:51AM

The Ivies have a much larger pool of sports than other schools. ESPN -- RJHokie 04/21/2018 11:04AM

The Ivy League was already running its own streaming service -- HOO86 04/21/2018 11:22AM

Excellent point on the ACC and the Ivy League Contract.
