Conference realignment "Rumors" "tweets" "etc"

Where is the West Virginia guy to bring some sanity to this conversation. Write this down. Texas is not going anywhere without Texas Tech.

 

They said the same thing about Texas and Texas A&M.  Anything is possible.

I read the post before it was locked down

 

MHver3 says the WVU AD Luck interviewed with Texas. Luck is in favor of B12 expansion (to FL and Cinn).    MHver3 claims that Texas and GT may bolt for B1G.  Also says that lawyers have found loophole for GOR in ACC suit against Maryland and that would  work in Texas and GT favor.

 

Loophole in Maryland = pandemonium, which is great for USF

 

 

Not really.  It will mean we'll likely change conferences, but still end up in CUSA 3.0 with potentially marginally better teams and a crap TV contract.

 

 

worst case scenario CUSA 3.0 would be an upgrade

 

USF

UCF

Cinn

UConn

Wake Forest

Boston College

Syracuse

NC ST

Pitt

Navy

Watching WVU get their brains bashed in inside the B12 I miss them and I'm sure the miss us. But they love the paycheck

 

To be fair, WVU isn't the team it was a few years ago.  They hit the B12 about the time they were trending downward anyway.  I think we may see a new coach there soon.

 

what are you talking about?

 

 

 

WVU was preseason top ten last year and had the Jets current starting QB playing for them.

 

they were coming off a 10 win season where they demolished clemson in a BCS bowl game.

 

they went 7-6 in big 12.they aren't what they were a few years ago because the big 12 is a much better conference then the BE. They will be nothing but a middle to lower tier program there.

 

I said when they accepted that this was the beginning of the end of success for that program. they took themselves out of a league that they won more than 50% of the time, played in 3 BCS bowls in 6 years,left their natural rivals that fans could easily travel to, and took themselves out of their natural recruiting grounds for the sake of more money.

 

they will be lumped in with tcu, kansas, iowa state for bottom tier more than they will with Ou, Texas, etc at the top.

 

 

Sure.

 

so I guess downward trend in your opinion is preseason top 10 with heisman hopeful QB coming off a 10 win season and blowout victory in BCS bowl game.

The somewhat interesting news is if someone found a "loophole" in the GOR.  We've recently had scuttlebut that the ACC got the language from the GOR from the Big 12 via Texas.  So it would make sense if there is a legitmate loophole that Maryland found, it would ironically work for Texas.  

 

On the other hand, it seems to me that Maryland is in a different boat due to the fact that they (allegedly) voted against the GOR and got out quickly.  It would seem to be hard to enforce new rules on Maryland if they were against the new rules and did not signify acceptance by hanging around for a while.  So a loophole for Maryland might not apply to anyone else.

Whatever happens happen already, good, bad or indifferent.  All of this talk about shuffling teams is getting very old.

B1G and B12 really want the exposure to the FL markets

Man...  One way to get subscribers is add USF and UCF to the conference and then I'll order their respective TV packages

#Big12 already told no CCG without at least 12 teams, and they need a CCG so adding two teams has legs. #BYU #Bearcats #UCF #USF #BSU.
