If you are the Boston College Athletic Department. Their move to the ACC not only has most of the Big East teams pissed. It seems that the basketball program is having some issues scheduling non-con games in the future (subs. req’d).

As Boston College makes its farewell tour of the Big East, the Eagles are inquiring about future opponents once it becomes an ACC member.

The only taker so far is Providence. The Friars supposedly are willing to start a home-and-home series with the Eagles next season, possibly in Conte Forum for the first year.

BC inquired with St. John’s and Seton Hall, but neither school seemed too interested. Connecticut has made it clear it wants nothing to do with the Eagles now that they’re leaving for the ACC. The Eagles wanted a few bus trips before they go to a league in which they will fly to every road game.

Now, I am flabbergasted that Providence College — the place where the Big East began, , where BE Commish Mike Tranghese worked, the city where the home office is based — would even consider this. I would hope that most BE schools would follow the example set by UConn’s Jim Calhoun and simply say FU to BC.

Practically all of their sports (excluding Hockey) are going to have to fly to the majority of their games. That travel budget is going to be deadly. Add in their admission fees to the ACC, and it will be several years in the red.

Good.

In Pitt basketball, a puff piece on Antonio Graves and his renewed confidence. Mainly, it just came down to meeting with the coach one-on-one.
