They are speculating, lets face it until it's a done deal that is all it is, that UConn and either WVU or Texas will go to the ACC. I think UConn will benefit to move to the ACC instead of waiting out the Big East.

West Virginia angling for SEC membership? | CollegeFootballTalk

Looks like WVU is looking to go SEC.
OU regents are meeting right now here in Tulsa, so news of that should come out in the next couple of hours. Conference Alignment was #28 on the agenda.

A little birdy told me that the Texas Longhorns are still "flirting" with The Big 10.

A little birdy told me that the Texas Longhorns are still "flirting" with The Big 10.

The Big Ten will not tolerate the Longhorns shenanigans like the Big 12 did...that's why we're playing musical conferences. In my best Jerry Seinfeld voice, "I don't get it...why are there twelve teams in the Big Ten and only ten teams in the Big 12? Did somebody forget how to count? Wouldn't it make more sense to exchange conference names?

 

[The Insider]

I think they will slip in to 25th or so after this week... I'm hoping for it as they play VT in 3 weeks - at Lane


also i'd rather texas schools stay away from the ACC...makes no sense. To be honest it makes no sense they going to the PAC 12 either as it hurts fan travel IMO.

Yea because right now VT has 0 ranked teams on its schedule.. And if miami does get ranked it would be by the hair on there chin. Oddly enough Boise st plays more ranked teams..

OU has taken the first formal step in leaving the Bovine 9.

This gives credence to the rumor Texas and Notre Dame jointly approached the Big Ten. Texas won't stick around as the Big 12 crumbles around them, and it's a good time for Notre Dame to signon with the Big Ten or they may not find room on the bench in the future. We shall see...

I just heard on FOX Sports, Texas and Oklahoma to the PAC 12.

I just heard on FOX Sports, Texas and Oklahoma to the PAC 12.

Q: If a team leaves a conference and no one is left to hear them, do they make a sound?

A: Yes, they sound just like the Big 12 Conference imploding.

Texas Board of Regents give President William Powers the authority to look for another conference for the Horns to destroy.

I just heard on FOX Sports, Texas and Oklahoma to the PAC 12.

From the article, "School and conference officials from the Big East and Big 12 have been discussing ways to merge what's left of the two leagues..."

Names being considered for the new league include Big Least, Big Yeast (someday they'll rise again), Big Fugly 12 and Saturdays with Morrie.

Umm look again, VT plays a Ranked Clemson team and a ranked GT team... I don't see FSU winning this week at Death Valley - ESPN already see's it as well so they took the Clemson @ VT game in two weeks and made it prime time 6pm ESPN cause they see it could pit two top 10 teams come that week. Miami will likely get in ranked in coming weeks.

6 pm in not prime time.

 

[dvrexpander]

6 pm in not prime time.

They normally have it at 7:30 or 8pm which yeah is really PRIME TIME - but this was a good move on their part which pushes into prime time and leaves a slot open for Ole Miss and Fresno St to air... not a bad move IMO - not too late and not to early just perfect and nice to have a game in Blacksburg that doesn't always start at noon or 3:30....this is a very very rare event for a Saturday. This would be perfect for College Game Day to show up as they are already in the area up in West VA this coming weekend...perhaps Corso's car won't get hit by lightning this time around if he doesn't pick against VT

be nice to see them come to Blacksburg as the last time was 2007 after the shooting, just be nice to have them show up for the team rather than a horrible event as it was but there wasn't an empty seat that day and tickets even in the nose bleed sections were going for well over $200 a pop as everyone wanted to be a part of that day.

Looks like the SEC has it's #14 in mind.

Oklahoma will consider staying in Big 12, but wants reform, according to report - ESPN

The Kansas City Star, citing a University of Missouri booster as its source, said that the Tigers have an invitation to join the Southeastern Conference and that the SEC is willing to wait for the Big 12 issues to be resolved before making a final decision.
"Apparently [the SEC has] come to us," the Missouri booster said, according to the Star. "I've been told there is an offer on the table."

Great. We already have one set of Tigers too many somewhere in Alabama.

I know the feeling, there's one set of bulldogs too many in Mississippi (or Mississipi as it's spelled in Alabama)

Superconferences still on hold as Pac-12 stays put - College Football - Rivals.com

The seismic shift in college athletics has once again been diverted.

Unless there is a major surprise looming, the latest round of conference realignment will only produce a handful of changes. The 16-team superconference is again on hold.

The Pac-12 presidents and chancellors decided late Tuesday night not to expand, leaving Texas and Oklahoma to figure out a way to get along in the Big 12.

"After careful review we have determined that it is in the best interests of our member institutions, student-athletes and fans to remain a 12-team conference," Commissioner Larry Scott said in a statement. "While we have great respect for all of the institutions that have contacted us, and certain expansion proposals were financially attractive, we have a strong conference structure and culture of equality that we are committed to preserve."

Thank you Pac 12! Now everyone else please settle down and let this pass.

And there is this to address the Missouri rumor.

West Virginia and Missouri have both been speculated to be candidates and there were reports earlier Tuesday that the SEC and Missouri had a tentative agreement.

The SEC shot that down.

"The Southeastern Conference has not agreed formally or informally to accept any institution other than Texas A&M, and there have not been conference discussions regarding changes in divisional alignments," SEC associate commissioner Charles Bloom said.

With Texas and Oklahoma still around, there might not be a reason for Missouri to relocate.

 

[Ronnie-]

Anyone think the ACC might have just panicked and jumped the gun considering all of the rumors?
As far as FOOTBALL goes, I really dont see that they moved their respect meter up any by adding Pitt or Syracuse.
