Middle Tennessee and Florida Atlantic will join Conference USA, leaving the Sun Belt as part of the ever-changing college landscape.
Conference USA announced the addition of its new members Thursday, just two days after Tulane and East Carolina left Conference USA for the Big East even with East Carolina just leaving in football.
Can Jim Tressel be hired as a coach? or was that a 5 year ban for him?
Saw this the morning when rumors of Tressel to Tennessee came up.
Tressel was hit with a five-year show-cause penalty that would follow the coach, should he return to the sidelines before the 5yrs is up. If anyone, UT or otherwise, were to hire Tressel, the penalties levied on the coach would be enforced at the new school: a five-game suspension to start the tenure and a suspension for a bowl game that first season should the team qualify.
Well, those terms should work for Colorado, they aren't going to a bowl game any time soon. He's probably too rich for their blood unfortunately.
Which tells me that they've applied, and informal vote took place and now they're waiting for the formal stuff (and the completion of the ACC championship game).UPDATED: Tech denies Big Ten rumors
Amidst rumors and reports that Georgia Tech has applied and been approved for membership into the Big Ten, the school denied their veracity.
“There is no truth to the rumors,” Institute spokesman Matt Nagel said in an e-mail Friday afternoon.
Wish they would just get it over with, so we can declare college football ruined and just make the FBS a professional minor league to the NFL.

If the Wreck is #15, I wonder who #16 will be?Rumor is GT will be making a BIG announcement within 7 days. I'm guessing if it happens, then probably after championship weekend.
If the Wreck is #15, I wonder who #16 will be?
Only UVa & UNC are AAU members, so it limits ACC picks to those two."If" they leave, then #16 probably depends on who decides the ship really is sinking and wants to leave before its too late. uva, unc, fsu, cu, ncst, vt
Tell me about it........Why? Am I scared? No. But Beating Kent St, means nothing.. But losing to them, well ya never live that down.
