When it rains
it pours on St. John's basketball.St. John's and the Garden have hit significant snags in negotiations over a future contract. The contract expired after last season, and the parties have been unable to reach agreement on a new deal. The parties have been working under a goodwill understanding, and the games for the upcoming season are not in jeopardy.
But if a new deal can't be reached, it would be a lose-lose for both down the road, with St. John's being the biggest loser. The Red Storm's single greatest recruiting tool is playing in the World's Most Famous Arena. St. John's plays the majority of its Big East home games there, and it's usually the first reason given by players who sign with St. John's.
