    Pitino Wants Bilas for Big East Commissioner

    Pitino sounds serious, he makes a good case for Jay:

    "I would take a portion of the Syracuse and Pittsburgh money [each school paid the Big East $7.5 million to join the ACC in 2013], give him a 5-year contract and pay him 2 million per year. He has charisma, knows T.V., has a legal background, outstanding presence, and a creative thinker. He would be a grand slam."

    I know Jay is a big guy, but wouldn't Shaq be a better commissioner for the Big Eat?

    I nominate Sir Charles! Certainly they can outbid Weight Watchers for his services.

    I can't imagine Jay or someone of his caliber wanting to head an organization in decline and likely with an increasingly bleak future.

    Perhaps someone with a sentimental attachment to the Big East would want the job.

    i think having a college basketball "czar" would be a good thing....someone to wave his hand and make decisions immediately without a lot of committee meetings....(like banning the unsafe floor stickers as soon as they were discovered making the players slip)

    i would probably regret this initiative at least once or twice, but i'm pretty sure that jay would make things better...

    Per Bilas tweet, " I will accept no position below 'Emperor of the Western Hemisphere.'. Lowly positions can't take my SWAG"

    Does this mean Stern is contemplating retirement?

    Well maybe Stern is going to retire, and the NBA will hire Goodell.
