By not taking Vermont's offer, the AD's turned down around $10,000 just because their coaches are afraid to play there. The UVM Asst. AD, who was at the meeting, was quoted that Vermont was victimized for being too strong at home and too good all together. Something like 20-1 against the AE in the last 21 games.
B.U. won by default. Hartford's money deal was real low and Binghamton could not guarantee their building would be ready and their hotel deal was lousy.
As far as the moron who knocked Jessie Agel. Face the facts-- the guy is the best assistant in the America East and will take over when Brennan retires. He's recruited three rookie of the years since 1998 (Orciari, Coppenrath and Sorrentine), two have been player of the year and another, Sheftic, was tourney MVP. Also a regular season title and an overall championship.
And guys like Frank Martin get touted by some website as being the best assistant in the conference. Get real!

I Checked with two different sources close to two of the AD's who attended.
Firstly, all of the 10 AD's were at the meeting and voted, including Farnham from Vermont.
Hartford, Binghamton and Vermont all had bid packages substantially higher than Boston's.
Binghamton did guarantee their building would be ready by the start of basketball season. Also, their hotel prices were as low as Vermont's, and lower than either Hartford or Boston.
How often do you think that Boston has lost on their home court in the past two years? They're just as tough at home as Vermont is.

First of all, Binhamton guaranteed the most $$$$! Wasn't even close! Nobody wanted to play in Vermonts High School Gym!!! Also, before the AE break-up what was Vermont's record? They sucked! Who was Jessie Agel? A nobody! Still is a nobody! He'll get that job because it's the worst paying job in the AE by far! I heard Jessie could guarantee the best deal at the All YOu Can Eat BUffet! What a great physical specimen! Can you say AB Roller?

Said in the Binghamton paper the vote was 6-4 on the final ballot. But the AD said he was surprised either Boston or Binghamton even made it to the final ballot.

the 6-4 vote was in the 2nd round after Hartford and UVM lost out in the 1st round in a very close vote. The 2nd round was down to BU & BingU.

Why is UMBC even allowed to vote on this? -- mainejeff, 01:20:54 05/12/03 Mon
They don't even belong to the conference yet! Just another example of America East stupidity.

Hey mainejeff, why can't they vote? They are going to be in the conference tourney next year. They should have a say in where it is...
