Pitino To St. John’s

[UCGRAD4X]

Technically they're already passing around the collection plate with the upcoming Cintas Center renovations/reseating.

My guess is it's going to be making an extra round one way or another.

What price glory?

This will help Fox Sports 1 tv contract with BE. Possibly millions of more viewers.

What has Miller done to earn a raise, really?

And why doesn't this board have a sarcasm font?

Some other boards I am on use italics as their sarcasm font - works pretty well.

This is really good for the BE. Getting NY excited about college basketball will be big for TV contracts. Combine getting St John's and G-Town having good coaches and the tournament success the BE is on a good roll.

Yes, what price glory. I have already registered my disdain for Pitino no matter how good of a coach he has been. Cooley’s departure from Providence is disappointing as were Miller and Mack from Xavier. The big business aspect of college basketball rears its ugly head. Student-athlete becomes even more of a misnomer as loyalty matter less and less.

Xavier has been no different in regard to the business side; however my loyalty remains as I still believe Sean Miller is a very decent man who just happens to be a very good basketball coach.

Uh huh.
And *some* on this board are mad that they were “allegedly” *promised* 12 years ago that there would NEVER be a ticket price or seat license increase. And *some* are upset that their seating applecart is getting overturned due to the need for increased revenue. Wah, Wah.
The old men yelling at cloud meme fits perfectly here.
(What ever Sean gets paid is worth every Penny)

I mean, how blessed that 10 years ago Xavier was invited into this incredible league?
Father Hoff’s hand ascending gesture was more accurate than even he knew. Top Jimmy had the vision.
Now Xavier is starting a medical school and bringing back football?
The series of Presidents, Athletic Directors, Coaches and Players at MY school is amazing to review. Someday someone will write a book about XU history, starting with when Fr. Mulligan tried to move athletics to D3.
Dr. Bill Daily had better have the title of Savior in that book.
Always remember……..

Better product = higher price. Want to “keep your seats” we can go back to a coach like Steele. I never understood all the bickering about it.

You really shouldn't place much stock in what this buffoon has to say. I'm rather certain you would be hard-pressed to find any reference on this board where someone was complaining about ticket and/or seat license increases. This is an intelligent group of people and I'm quite certain that everyone here understands that prices go up.

this is EXACTLY it

people being upset b/c they cant sit with all of their friends vs 4 years of hell watching a coach in over his head.

I want to watch WINNING basketball first and foremost

if that costs a little more and we have to move seats every 4-5 years I am all in for that
