Not true. Fact, Big East commissioner Mike Trangheese has been interviewed several teams on this. BH meant nothing to the Big East, the Big East was already a great basketball conference. The Big East needed football teams and the Big East expansion committee had serious doubts about UC's commitment to BCS Conference football. This is when Nancy Zimpher stepped in and according to Tranghesse "wowed" the expansion committee with her vision for UC. It was Nancy Zimpher who got UC into the Big East.

I can't let my man LL stand alone here. The stories, rumors, innuendos were nothing more than political grandstanding. When everything was washed and dried, the Big East saw a strong basketball program that would enhance the existing league. Football may have been a small consideration in regards to UC, but the meat on the plate was Huggins and Bearcat basketball. I have read the above myth and rehashments over and again. Very little truth to it. Basketball/wife. Football/girlfriend.

Not true, South Florida got in with no basketball tradition, DePaul had been down for years in basketball and got in, strength of basketball program meant zilch to the Big East as it was something the Big East already had.

What you wrote is nothing but your opinion with no facts to support it. Fact, the Commissioner of the Big East stated in multiple interviews that Nancy Zimpher got UC in the Big East. Fact, no Big East official has ever stated UC got in because of BH. Them is the facts, Jack.
 
This not a thread about how UC got into the BEast. Stop the name calling, stop the arguments. I've given some leeway here but enough is enough. I highly suggest LL and others who can't control themselves, put Ralph on ignore.
 
What the hell is wrong with you? You start unsolicited fights with people that aren't even in the thread? You might need counseling.

I was banned for making a personal attack... Take note. Your a mod. Bet nothing happens.

Lets see how Ralphy responds.. Its time for him to pick a side. The Anti Bob Huggins side, or the Mick Cronin side.

First of all there was no personal attack. He is asking you a legit question. Secondly, as I have told you and everyone else this stops. The next post on this after mine goes up will be the last for someone. There is no Bob...he coaches WVU.
