Louisville stealing Chris Mack shows revenue gap Big East is fighting

Happy Thursday, ‘Nova Nation! Interesting piece by Mid-Major Madness and noted UConn-lover Russ Steinberg. He makes a fair point that the Big East will continue to experience the heavy hand that writes the checks in the Power 5, simply because they can’t hope to generate as much revenue.

I’d also argue that this is a stupid example to use, because Louisville is one of those jobs in the sport. They can both pay, and they are a destination job. And Chris Mack (‘s wife) has family in the area. Lot of things were right in this case.
