The Ball talks Big East basketball

[Bill Marsh]

Not everyone agrees with Robbins on this point. Here was the take at VU Hoops back in May, 2013, at the time that Robbins made his report:

"What's agree don is that MSG can cancel and/or alter it's deal with the new Big East under certain circumstances. What those circumstances are, however, seems to depend on whose sources you trust most. In either case, it seems that a successful tournament is of utmost importance to both sides."

You are quoting Brian Ewart? He's a good kid and a good fan, but he has no more inside info than any other poster on this board.

The big east deal is airtight. We heard that when the acc went to the barlays, and when big ten had to set up a week early.

if we are averaging 12k for Friday and Saturday bet games in 2020, then I will start to worry. As of now, let's just watch our ten teams continue to improve their national branding and continue to improve their involvement with the conference tourney in March. That is really the best solution. Adding teams like dayton and umass is like trying to so build a dirt wall to stop a lava flow.

Ewart was referring to Blaudschun's info, not his own. Robbins made his comments in response to A Blaudschun article in which MSG's opt out clause was discussed.
