Nope.

USC will be back in national title contention in 2012.

Alabama was given essentially the same penalty and they won it all last year.

Contrary to what most people in the Midwest believe or know, the guys that chose USC do it for one reason only: It's the best path to the NFL. The overwhelming majority of players at USC are interested in getting to the NFL.

USC is a young team. When they're eligible for post season play, their starting QB will be a senior.

Ahhemm, the Wolverine is the largest of the Weasel family and you just joined them. Don't forget those pesky Badgers too.

Yea, I think the death of USC has been greatly exaggerated.

USC will be back in 2016, if they they are lucky, no more stockpiling QB's, RB's and WB's.

I wish. USC will be just fine; their penalty may be reduced upon appeal and even if not they are a fugging factory.

ok, so what are your thoughts on this?

Nebraska and the Big Ten got played by Texas.

You know the history. NEB hates Texas. Texas probably hates NEB just as much and knows they'd have a better time in the league without Nebraska. More so, once NEB was gone and it looked like the league was gonna fall apart, Texas stepped in to save everything. That couldn't have happened with NEB in the league.

Now, about a week ago, there was a rumor floating around that TEX had an invite to the B10, which they said they would not consider unless NEB was invited as well. The B10, calling Texas out, invited NEB and they accepted. So now they're out, and TEX gets to be the hero, save the league, and wrangled a new TV contract out of Fox in the process.

I realize in terms of money and academic prestige, the B10 is better. Hell, I still hope Ol Mizzou gets an invite. But....

Was this DeLoss Dodds' most triumphant power play?

Well, after all this... I'm just ready to have some games to watch.

I'm burnt out on conference expansion stuff.

So Roy says Usc is down for 5 years I better run to Vegas and bet on the Trojans.

Sorry Dude, you're wrong.

USC probably won't even miss a beat on the recruiting trail. And FTR, I'm no USC fan. My wife's a UCLA grad.

That's a no-go in this house.

:D

Larry Scott just said Texas confirmed they aren't going anywhere.

Played? Nebraska got a great deal.

Yeah, i have no clue wtf is going on anymore...

Right. Not really what I was trying to say.

Can someone catch me up on the current developments?

I heard that the Big 12 is staying together, but they are inviting BYU and AF? Any word on Utah?

I hope the MWC bands together right now, but who knows.

Agreed.
