I understand that ESPn has contracts worth $57 Billion they have paid for sports rights for the next several years.
Requiem for the Big East was a pretty good documentary about their rise and fall. But they’ve still got a good basketball brand with National Championships even recently...
And any basketball focus colleges that left the Big East probably look at Villanova and Connecticut and see those guys winning National Championships in the Big East as bitter pills
But hey, get beat up by Michigan and/or Ohio State or a Clemson in foosball is a better payday..
Besides my favorite team, I like to watch football, the last couple of years I picked up on NFL again, I began playing DraftKings fantasy football on NFL games.
I am in my 3 year and still have a $180 of my original bankroll of $250 left, I am not playing to win large sums of money, I use it expand my Microsoft Excel expertise by collecting and analyzing statistics to see if any correlations exists.
I went to St John’s from 1982 to 1986 and lived it.
He’s writing about sportsball, right?
You bet you did..
You probably don’t like Villanova or UConn winning those championships either, but every one is a feather in the Big East’s cap..
Pitino is at your old stomping grounds now, right?
Congrats - here's your Bachelors in Science for "Fetch."
I went through SJU on a track scholarship and really wasn’t a basketball fan. The greatest value of the BB program for me was scalping tickets- i’d purchase as many tickets as i could at the student price of $3 to $4 a ticket and sell them for $30/$40/$50 a piece. It was all the money in the world to me back then.
If you watched the 30 for 30 you could see Georgetown was the big nemesis back then- everybody hated Georgetown except the people who went there and “da hood.” I was actually very glad when Villanova beat them in 1985. I also like seeing a Catholic school like Nova win the titles, especially considering how bad SJU has been recently.
