More like Pac-12 wanted Texas to fix their LHN deal or nobody gets in. Big East looking to raid the mid-majors for scraps. http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/id/47636/potential-new-big-east-members
Sounds like your school was one of the key players in no expansion, as if adding such academic jokes like Utah and Colorado wasn't enough imagine adding Oklahoma State and Texas Tech would have done to the academic profile of the Pac 12?
Bit off topic but funny. http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2011/9/22/2443289/fake-dan-beebe-twitter-rant-transcript If there was one great thing about the ongoing conference realignment saga, it was @DanBeebe, the Twitter parody account that seemed so much like the real thing, we began to wonder if the Big 12 commissioner was actually behind it. And on Thursday, the moment we've all been waiting for arrived: The real Dan Beebe tendered his forced resignation, and @DanBeebe went off. It was the most spectacular of finales. Below, you'll find all of Fake Dan Beebe's swan song tweets. Be forewarned, the language and content is a bit strong. But oh boy is it amazing. Star-divide THIS IS WHAT YOU BASTARDS WANTED AND THIS IS WHAT YOU GET DANNY DID NOTHING BUT HUSTLE FOR YOU BIG 12 AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET, A FORCED RESIGNATION JUST SO OKLAHOMA WILL STOP BEING BUTTHOLES. SO LISTEN UP, AND LISTEN WELL BAYLOR, YOU ARE A HORRIBLE LITTLE PUNK OF A SCHOOL WHO'S ONE CONGRESSMAN'S HEART ATTACK AWAY FROM BEING FORCED INTO D-II COLORADO, I NEVER CARED ABOUT YOU AT ALL IOWA STATE, HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A DRAIN ON THE CONFERENCE AND ON MY SANITY.

If we may add one thing for Mr. Beebe ... /drops mic
http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/blogs/dog-house/ACC-Wants-UConn-Sources-130345208.html UConn to be in ACC as soon as Notre Dame makes up mind. So the final 2 will be either: UConn/ND or UConn/Rutgers
http://www.kansascity.com/2011/09/22/3161236/sec-still-in-missouris-sights.html Mizzou team #14 in SEC if they accept offer. Might stay in Big 12.
http://www.nola.com/tulane/index.ssf/2011/09/conference_usa_mountain_west_t.html C-USA & MWC to host talks about merger for 2 division 22/24 team conference.
Connecticut Governor confirms that UConn really really really wants to be in the ACC. http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsport...ut-gov-confirms-uconn-wants-to-be-in-the-acc/
If Mizzou and ATM both for in as expected the conferences realignment is imminent unless they go with 16. You can't stack the west without evening things up and Mizzou is between two west schools so putting it in the east won't fly. Edit: look for Louisville and Clemson possibly. Or Alabama/awbarn becoming the east cut off school.
The big rumor among MWC fans is that Lousville, Cinci and BYU to the Big 12. Uconn and Rutgers to the ACC, USF back to CUSA and TCU stays in the MWC. the MWC then adds Houston to get to 12. If Mizzou goes to the Big 12 then WVU slides into their Big 12 slot.
BearcatLair.com reports “there are still a lot of details to be worked out as it relates to divisional breakouts, when new league would start play, etc.,” but the Big 12 appears to be moving toward 14 teams. The report says BYU, TCU, Louisville, Cincinnati and West Virginia would join current Big 12 members. http://cincinnati.247sports.com/Boa...the-path-is-becoming-clearer-for-UC-4567931/1
That would leave UConn, Rutgers, and South Florida as the only football teams left and then ND will most likely bail. UConn to ACC Rutgers to Big 10/ACC ND to Big 10/ACC South Florida to C-USA? If the Big Ten only gets 1 of ND/Rutgers then who becomes team #14?
Big East meeting happening right now until 3. Be interesting to see what happens. http://blogs.courant.com/uconn_mens_basketball/2011/10/from-the-big-east-meetings-at.html Supposedly doing live updates but nothing so far after an hour.
I heard from a source in SEC that 16 is happening and two ACC 20 million dollar buyouts are being mustered up. Doubt it's bullshit, fool is an intern in the office.
Doubt it. VT doesn't wanna go and the rest would infringe on other team's territories or would never go. It all hinges on what Mizzou decides tomorrow. If Mizzou stays the Big 12 may just invite BYU and be done at 10 and WVU would be #14 into the SEC. If Mizzou goes to be #14 then they might also add Louisville, WVU, and TCU which would leave Rutgers, UConn, Cincy, and South Florida as the only football schools left in the Big East which might then prompt ND to leave with UConn in tow to the ACC. Leaving Rutgers and Cincy to go to the Big 10 or C-USA with South Florida. Of course if the Big Ten gets off of ND's sack about being #13, they could add Mizzou and Rutgers and be set at 14. Which would after Louisville and WVU with TCU go to the Big 12 would be perfect for the C-USA which would get to 14 with Cincy and SF.
Mizzou gave their AD the power just like A&M did and the guy resigned from the Big 12 BoD so..... Either SEC gets #14 or long shot Big 10 gets #13.
Word on the street is that Mizzou is going to the Big 12 but they were hoping they'd end up in the Big 10 but that never happened. I've also heard that Louisville has already been invited to the Big 12 and BYU, Cinci, WVU and believe it or not Tulane are being looked at as candidates. BYU wants a sweetheart deal like Texas so they may hold out until they get it which is why Tulane has been mentioned. To put the pressure on The Cult.
