Good review of this 30 for 30 documentary that airs tomorrow night. Seems it's really a Gtown/Cuse documentary then some lambasting of how things were run and then a brief mention at the end in print that we still are alive but not really. haha I'll watch but not holding my breathe for anything i'll find entertaining.

I'll be tuning in. I may not like it, or how they present the story, but it should be pretty cool to hear some of the stories of the league.

The difference in the OBE and NBE is the OBE had vision. The NBE has grabbed $'s and a national tv contract that is national only in that it's broadcast nationally but no one is watching. Already we see B1G and ACC moving in on NYC for confernence tourney and 1 or both will get what they want.

I don't have time to argue with you about NBE direction but standing pat at 10 and it's a weak offering no mater how happy you are with your schools current status.

Fantastic so far, but definitely very Cuse /Gtown centric. A lot of St. John's too.

So far, it's a pretty good documentary with some good pub for Georgetown, St. John's and Villanova. We'll see how the cover the end of the documentary....

Very interesting that "The Sweater Game" between St. john's and Georgetown is still the highest rated regular season college game of all time.
