Big East Offseason Thread

[warriorfan4life]

Rysheed Jordan will be back for St. John's next season. He has had numerous off the court issues, but finally showed a semblance of consistency on the court last season (seven games with offensive ratings above 105 in his last eleven games). His shot looked much improved, he just needs better shot selection and to not to turn it over so often. Also, it would help if he stopped acting like a knucklehead off the court.

Rumor is that this is for lacrosse only.

I would take UConn and Cincy in a heartbeat over anyone else available out there. Who cares about football. They can figure that out.

[TheSultan]

The problem with football are the split loyalties. I would be surprised if the BE takes them as full members with football. Not toention that I doubt the AAC would have them as football only members.

What does UConn really have to gain by joining the Big East with football. The AAC is a solid league.

[TheSultan]

Exactly. That is why the rumor that it is for lacrosse.

[MayorBeluga]

if the stories about UConn athletics losing tons of money because of football are true, why would they add another non-revenue sport like lacrosse?

Because football is a public relations exercise, not a profit center. There is a reason why schools aren't dropping it.

OK, but why add another financial drain in lacrosse?

Eh who knows. Is there a prestige thing among the elite high schools and prep schools out east if you have lacrosse?
