Here's a more complete description of one of the auction items that people on this board might find helpful (or just interesting for its own sake to know such things exist).
12 DVD Hoyas’ basketball set converted from original VHS tapes. The set includes eight 1980s Hoya Hoop Club/Big East conference highlight videos and nine 1980s/1990s full game broadcasts (seven are home games/not seen or available anywhere as far as I know since they were played), recorded from TV onto VHS at the time and now converted to DVD. The games range from the famed Hoya/UVA (Ewing/Sampson) game at the Cap Centre in 1982, to several Hoya-dominating performances in 84-85 (including Ewing’s last home game/CRUSHING Syracuse), to two classic Hoya/UConn games in 1996 starring Allen Iverson.
Each disc comes in a clear slim DVD case and has a custom made Hoya photo/box score cover/back and DVD label). Each disc case includes a classic Hoya photo on the inside opposite the disc (Sports Illustrated cover shot or the like).
Here’s the complete list:
Disc 1: The Decade of the 80s (Hoya Hoop Club highlight video/45 mins)
A Decade of Excellence: The First Ten Years of the Big East Conference (Official conference video/1 hour/lotsa highlights and interviews with conference founders)
