Magnanimous

Disney is a mess and may be looking to sell ABC, change how it delivers ESPN packages to consumers, etc. as part of overhauling its entire business model (as well as possibly selling to Apple?). Further reinforces how important it was for the Big Ten to partner with other networks for its CFB slate.

Link Petitti emerged from a group of finalists that interviewed in the past 48 hours and was selected Tuesday after a vote of the league's presidents and chancellors, sources said. Petitti brings a diverse background in both sports and media. He is the former COO of Major League Baseball, where he succeeded current MLB commissioner Rob Manfred in that role in 2015. His media experience comes from working for ABC Sports, CBS and the MLB Network. His work with college sports includes helping create the Bowl Championship Series back when he was with ABC and working with the NCAA tournament while at CBS. He also worked extensively with the NFL while at CBS. Petitti also oversaw the day-to-day operations of CSTV, the network that would eventually become CBS Sports Network, for a four-month stint in 2008. He left soon after to become the head of the MLB Network, charting his path to become one of MLB's top executives. Translation:

Bob Knight would’ve won that game. I need two more FAU FFs from Dusty before I’m convinced he could get us to the the SW16.

Good! That’ll keep him off the market until we’re ready.

Would be right there with the 2014 baseball season.

Agreed. It’s incredibly unlikely he’d ever be a top 10 pick. If you’re getting any kind of first round guarantee, you take it. I would hate to see him or any other player “Melo Trimble” his way out of long-term financial security by coming back when it’s unnecessary.

How hard is it for this program to win 3 games in March? It’s been 21 years…

Roster needs a complete overhaul after this year. More athletes and more shooters. Eric Gordon’s pizzeria needs to open the check book.

but we’re very stupid

I’ll take a five point deficit after watching that crap…

Lineup with Malik worked best

JHS with a seven point swing on his own…

Tom Crean’s 2-3 zone offense has arrived.

It’s St Patrick’s Day and a Friday evening. Couldn’t have asked for a better tip time!

When’s game time going to be announced?

It’s a very favorable region, all things considered. We have one of the best big man/guard combos in the country. Let’s win the whole f’n thing!

OSU. They’ll have very tired legs at that point, so if that’s the scenario then it’s much more to our benefit both in the likelihood of winning and not wearing our guys out. Also, we got destroyed the game after we last beat Purdue. That game takes a lot out of us and also runs the risk of overconfidence creeping into our locker room again.

Yea, but we weren’t trying…

Ugh…why rush that?

We’re going to win the whole thing and get Bronny James while we’re at it.

Said the same thing!
