    Johnny - looks like you guys are getting Dalton Pepper tranferring in from West Virgnia. should be a good get for you guys. good fit for after next year when Moore and Fernandez are gone.

    Jaegs - did you see the story on espn.com college hoops about Will Sheridan? pretty good story about him being gay and how his teammates at Nova knew and accepted him and never made an issue out of it. pretty good story if you get a chance to read it.

    nova player gay. that's not news

    love that nova got rejected by big east football.


    ...umm, no they didn't. :? the issue is the seating capacity at that union stadium. and there's no place to build something new in radnor.

    they're also thinking about only expanding to 10 teams. if they do that, nova's probably out. if they go to 12, they might be in, if the stadium thing gets resolved.

    but it's not like nova is dying to get into the football conference though. they've dragged their feet deciding whether they want to do it or not for quite a while now.

    i think june 1st is the new deadline...but that's changed like 10 times already

    exactly. the ADs in the conference knew that nova wouldn't be able to generate enough income for the conference because their stadium isn't big enough. so they were denied admission to the conference.

    Jaegs he doesn't respond to what you wrote, he likes to respond to what he thinks you wrote. accuracy is not real big with him.

    anyway the latest i've heard and seen about this is that there has been some playback from the basketball schools in favor of Nova in the sense that they do not want anyone else added before Nova. If football is going to expand further the basketball schools want it to be Nova or no one. the football schools still want to add a few more but without the basketball schools approval they don't have enough votes to expand further. if i had to take odds on this now i'd say its 80-20 against them moving up. too many hurdles at this point to make it viable i think. also word from the nova message board is that the school president has never been keen on moving up and will now use the big east hesitation as an excuse to end the process come june 1st (yes that is the next date i've heard).

    ha--i knew you lurked on those boards :mrgreen:

    yeah no slam dunk. funny thing is if nova didn't drag their feet it seems they could have just said yes months ago and the would be in. i was reading they are more ready now to move forward but the big east is having 2nd thoughts. apparently they offered a spot to byu and they turned them down. who knows? seems like a mess and they're being so secretive about it.

    hopefully we find out soon.

    their 'benchwarmers' board on rivals.com is one the funniest most entertaining boards i've even been on. they do these post-a-pic things and it is just hilarous. they get away with more stuff on their board than any other board i've ever seen - lots of stuff that isn't nova related or sometimes sports related. just good stuff if you want a chuckle once in a while. and i just love to talk college hoops. i don't do much trash talking there like i did with you - they are negative enough themselves.

    yeah i look at that one from time to time along with a few others.

    this is the only board thing i ever post on though.

    Shouldn't Big East teams be east of the Mississippi? Let alone east of the Rockies. :roll:

    it's gonna be central florida. you know, since they can offer a real sized school and a stadium that seats more than 20,000 (and also doesn't involve an MLS team).

    nova has no shot. the CAA might be better than the big east anyway

    what? dude. did you read anything pjhawks and i posted about this?

    nova would be in right now if they accepted the big east's offer last year. instead they spent the last 9 months hemming and hawing and now a couple big east schools (pitt and wvu most likely) are having 2nd thoughts.

    we've both said nova is a long shot at this point. you seemed to think a decision was already made. it hasn't. this has been going on for quite a while now (well before someone bumped this thread). welcome to the story though :lol:

    edit--and again, no idea if you've read anything about this (certainly doesn't seem like it) other than one or two posts in a pearl jam message board but the plan is to play at ppl stadium which is expected to expand to 30,000 seats soon.

    no. they were offered a spot and took too long to make a decision. now they are in limbo.


    and it's a college hoops thread. you've told him to stick to this sport. should read what he's said on this topic. i don't think you know what you're talking about, no offense.

    all I know is that the other ADs don't want nova in the football conference. that's what the topic was and that's what I have commented on.

    so they took too long to make a decision...then what happened? um, they were denied admission.

    central florida is the better fit from what I've read. nova is a tiny little rich kid school...not condusive to a major football conference

    you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. i'd be willing to bet you would have no idea about this whole thing if this thread wasn't bumped. :lol:
