And the arrow moves ever so closer to Happy JoePa since last time. How so? Well let's turn it over to Teddy Greenstein, who, after spelling out the reasons SU wouldn't be a good fit for the Big Ten, drops the Cantor Bomb.

On the plus side, Syracuse's chancellor, Nancy Cantor, is said to be pushing to join the Big Ten. She previously served as chancellor for the University of Illinois and provost at Michigan. And if Delany, a basketball guy at his core (he played for Dean Smith at North Carolina), also wants to make the Big Ten a hoops megapower, Syracuse is the way to go.

Otherwise, it's the same old story. Everyone's got an opinion or heard a rumor. That is, except Pitt's Wannstache who knows not of what you speak. Georgetown knows and they're concerned. Somehow Kentucky's involved themselves in the conversation as well. There's even chatter of a Big 12/Pac-10 Alliance as college football inches closer to becoming the WWE.

We remain cautious and concerned.

Cantor

I forgot about the Cantor angle… Remember, she was the one who created a big stink at U of Ill. when she tried to get rid of Chief Illini… Then she came to Syracuse and neutered our Orangemen. I forgot she was a Big Ten girl.

Orange you glad it's not football season?

If that happens...

Two Syracuse ladies will be responsible for destroying the Big East.

Donna Shalala, who led Miami out of the conference

And then Nancy…

Well...

Donna only got her Ph. D. at Maxwell, does she really count as a Syracuse lady? And Nancy is only half a lady, I mean literally – she’s like 3 feet tall and 50 lbs.
