The most arrogance our fan base has ever shown was in the idea that Jim Leavitt underachieved and had to go.  Fortunately most of those bozos are gone too.

Hadn't thought of it in that light but would have to agree that's the most ....

Yup!! Now hopefully USF has learned many lessons from their fall from grace. Because next time when USF starts to win I am hoping that they keep on winning consistently. That is what will build this USF program

ESPN is continuing their fall. Thankfully we are seeing many other sports programming step up..

But like other industries ... they step up and pay less... sometimes a lot less.

Newspapers fell ... and there are fewer of them around, with fewer reporters.

Look at the music industry since everything went streaming...

Sure, ESPN is feeling it... but so will everyone else in the business.

[Disney CEO Bob] Iger said when he had left the company he had predicted the future of traditional TV and had been “very pessimistic,” and has found since his return that he was right in his thinking, adding it’s worse than he expected.

Disney could soon sell its TV assets as Iger says business 'may not be core' to the company

So all of the sudden, the ACC deal is not looking so bad. ACC is going to be five & remain one of the top 4 conferences. Looking forward to the USF vs UConn game as it should be a preview between two future ACC schools

Saw the last little bit of the Tweet and just confirms some of the nonsense that "sources" like this throw against the wall. UConn's athletic budget blows Memphis' out of the water, mid $90M's to mid $60M's .....

This guys tweet makes little sense.

He doesn’t think that the SEC and B10 will gut the ACC, but goes on to list 5 teams that will leave, then says that the ACC will snag UConn and USF or merge with the B12/PAC12?

[Brad]

He’s got just about all of it covered.
