The more I read this thread, the more I think many of your fans are extremely jealous, and have a huge inferiority complex to go along with a �we are holier than thou� attitude Sorry the Big East doesn't have the ethics of the A-10. C�mon, all I have to do is point to a few of the thugs you had on your team a couple of years back. Don�t get me started on some of the other programs in your league. Asking a favor of a Big 5 school to reschedule a game? That is bad ethics? Give me a break, folks. You guys know as well as I do that in the grand scheme of things, Nova is a clean program. Did you see the academic rankings for NCAA teams in the USA Today recently? I realize I opened this discussion but many of the opinions are absurd.

In reply to: DamnRam 's message, "Chaney is definitely a one-man drama show. That said, Nova's behavior clearly circumvented the spirit of what suspensions are supposed to be about. Bumping and rescheduling Temple for a midnight game just after the suspension period ended only further highlighted their lack of ethics. To some degree I blame the A10 and Chaney for letting Nova use them like that, and certainly the NCAA for allowing Nova to end-run their sanctions. I would blame the Big East for doing nothing, but expecting their management to enforce integrity is like expecting a dog to whistle." on Fri April 01, 2005 11:43:33

No jealousy on my part (can't speak for anyone else); that's a rationalization on your part. Rescheduling a game to deal with weather or facilities conflicts is understandable; rescheduling to circumvent a punishment is bad ethics. Note that I restricted my comments about Nova to that incident and I made no blanket judgement about the program otherwise. But in regards to the Big East I have a very different opinion. Yes the A10 has had some serious incidents (LaSalle's rape, and the Chaney "goon" incident which wasn't handled nearly tough enough), but in the "grand scheme of things" they pale to what we've seen from the BE over the past 25 years. ALL leagues and programs should be held to high standards instead of dropping them when it's convenient. Which brings me to your "thugs" comment about former Fordham Rams players - who specifically are you referring to and what specific incidents, if any, are you referring to?
