The announcement is expected "late Tuesday afternoon." With so much talk about the upcoming tv negotiations centering on a possible deal between NBC and the Big East, it is interesting to see a CBS sports guy emerge. It should be no surprise though that the conference is picking someone with such strong tv credentials. This news along with the announcement that media negotiator Chris Bevilacqua's firm has been hired for the upcoming negotiations could mean the Big East just might get a great deal worked out after all.
