ESPN Films Announces Next 30 for 30 Documentary: “Requiem For The Big East”

This sounds amazing and I would think it would be a must watch for all Big East fans. Here is an excerpt from the ESPN Films announcement of this new “30 for 30” which will air on 3/16 right after Selection Sunday:

ESPN Films’ 30 for 30 series will continue with “Requiem For The Big East,” premiering Sunday, March 16, at 9 p.m. ET after Bracketology on ESPN. The film, directed by Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Ezra Edelman, explores the meteoric ascension of the Big East Conference, and how in less than a decade under the innovative leadership of founder and Commissioner Dave Gavitt, it became the most successful college sports league in America.

The film is told primarily through the lens of famed Big East coaches such as Jim Boeheim, Lou Carnesecca, Rick Pitino and John Thompson, former Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese, and some of its most iconic players like Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullin and Ed Pinckney. It chronicles the rivalries and successes that led many of them to become household names.

The Big East was a groundbreaking athletic and business creation that encapsulated the era and region in which it was born – from the toughness of the players and coaches hailing from some of the Northeast’s most storied cities, to the executives and Wall Street brokers who thrived because of it. Launched in 1979—the same year that ESPN was born—the Big East used the burgeoning cable TV network and the media as a whole to help spread its gospel to fans and future players across the nation. But “Requiem For The Big East” is also a tale of change as the super conference eventually found itself in a new era fighting for survival.

Friarbasketball.com – Where are the Students? #pcbb

This story from Friarbasketball.com’s Craig Belhumeur should be printed in the next edition of the Cowl, plastered up on the walls of the Slavin Center, in McPhail’s and all over campus. The excuses have been many for why the students haven’t been showing up for the last few years but everyone always said that at the end of the day, winning will cure all and the kids will show up. Well…
