From the WVU Board (Atomic Noodle):

Quote:
Ted Glover was the first guest on the Spin Zone and talked about B1G expansion.

Ted was the writer who interviewed Gerry DiNardio where DiNardo named the ACC as the B1G's target.

Ted said that UVA had completed the application process and was ready to go pending the official invitation from the B1G.

He believes that UNC is the B1G's target for #16 and not GT. He also believes the B1G is at 18 by 2014 with UVA, UNC, GT and ND or FSU.

Ted agreed that FSU is a great choice for the B1G but academics are likely to keep them out. He said that if the B1G has to take FSU to kill the ACC that Delany would do it.

Ted agreed with me that the B1G's endgame is to force ND into the conference.

We also spoke about ACC schools weighing tradition versus money and opportunity. How much is tradition worth to schools like UVA and UNC?

If you are interested here's my latest:

I'm still waiting for the Big 12 to collapse and for Kansas to be relegated to the Mountain West. Surely this is coming. Any day now, Mizzou fan told me so. It must be true.

Texas would have a ton to gain in the PAC versus the Big 12 in it's current form. Being in a conference with UCLA, USC, Oregon, etc. is much more appealing than the current marriage of convenience both athletically and academically.
How many Texas fans have you talked to? I have yet to meet one that wants to goto the PAC and/or has heard information that leads them to believe UT does either.

Also this from MHver3:

Quote:
No exact dates because info not know yet. . I doubt the conferences and schools involved know the exact dates.

This is all as of how things are going right now.

Yesterday: UVA turns in their completed application to the Big10

Sometime in March: UNC will do the same(90%sure on this)

Late April: BiG will invite UNC and UVA and they will accept

May: will be the month of the $hitstorm. An every man for himself free for all
That will lead directly into:

June: Big12 issues at least 2 invitations but up to 6 depending on many variables
SEC also invites 2 more schools

July: Big10 will invite ND as a partial member with fb membership pending the split.

It's their imagination. In their minds, the Big 12 is going to collapse any day now, KU will be screwed playing half empty home games vs. Colorado State and Wyoming. Mizzou will win 9 football games in the SEC and contend for the League in basketball. This will happen. (Any day now)

Go ahead and produce a quote.

About 1000 of them on their message board. The realignment thread has a couple million views. Most of them want the SEC if they move. Virtually none of them give a shit about the Big 12. It's not that they have anything against the Big 12, but there is zero loyalty.

A lot of them want to go independent.

Their home football schedule for next year is terrible, and they're pretty pissed about it. Their best game is Oklahoma State.

Funny, I don't get that vibe, and its not what the UT administration has said either. They like that they're fans can drive to most of their games. They like keeping Texas football in Texas. They like being the king of their own conference. Funny what (or who) each reads into these posts, but most of the fans I see don't want to go somewhere else unless forced to. If forced to, they prefer the SEC, then the B1G, then the PAC. But, most do not want to go somewhere else. When Dodds was interviewed, he said most of the alumni he converses with did not want to leave either and that they like the locality of the conference.

I'll trust what the actual fans say over the words of a commissioner who just signed a GOR if I want to find what the fans are actually thinking.

As an aside, DeLoss is currently the second most hated man in Texas behind Mack.

The fans would be the last entity I would trust to know the inner working of what UT is going to do. Austin is a liberal bastion in a largely conservative state. That's why the SEC has so much appeal to fans and why the PAC has the least.

Didn't seem to bother Alabama fans this year.

I'm not talking about the inner workings of UT, and you know this. I'm talking about popular opinion because you brought it up.

Maybe that's because they got to attend home games against aTm and Auburn.

Bambi 02-18-2013 03:35 PM
Saul please. Texas had about 100 years of choosing any confernce in America to join. They have no interest in doing so. Don't take this as a shot against Mizzou but your school and Texas aren't the same. Schools like UT are the anchors. They don't go to you, you come to them. Call it pride or whatever you wish but it simply will always be the way it is.

Shit, every school in the Big 12 could leave the Big 12 and UT would remain. Even then they would join another confernce they wouldn't call it that, they'd call it a merger.
