What tape are they playing?

So tired of all this realignments and tv markets etc. I start thinking of extreme measures.
If everyone (or enough of us) dropped our tv providers and blamed it on college football it would hurt those like espn and others who rely on tv to sell their products. It would put pressure on those like espn and bcs who cause all this pain. So in the end we would tell them who we want in the big tv markets or we just won't watch. I could do it to get what I want. I'd rather miss a year of college football than to be left out "forever".
"We are not part of any meeting with those two conferences,'' Big East spokesman John Paquette told the Daily News, in no uncertain terms.

Like I said, the only way these MWC/CUSA stories are getting into the papers is from MWC/CUSA sources. Not BE people. They aren't interested.

I like that idea about as much as I like the idea of a 32-team superconference

CUSA comish was scheduled to speak to my Sports Law class tomorrow afternoon, but I got an email from my prof saying that he had just gotten word from Mr. Banowsky's office saying that he had an emergency meeting Wed. and couldn't make it. I guess this is what has him tied up. Hopefully he will speak next week so we can ask some questions that I am sure he will not answer.

He's going to go watch a Broadway show because the Big East is not meeting with him.
