I picked the worst two weeks for a vacation--if we get passed over, the whole darn trip will be ruined
I picked a bad time to start at a new job! It'll take all my willpower to avoid checking news / social media.

Apples and oranges - the FB schools would have revolted had another "basketball school" been selected.

Bullcrap!! I contend they (FSU/Clemson) never were serious with that threat, and their signing of the GOR...twice, backs me up.

You're right....you're not a guru....UConn wasn't contiginous OR even a consideration.....RU had been on an unofficial waiting list for years....do a little research..

Ok, so I did a little research and it appears that Rutgers has been on the waiting list for a championship list a long f!?king time. You were right!

Still wrong - that was in Nov. 2012 and the GOR was in April 2013. The FB schools were throwing their weight around as 85% of the TV $$ comes from FB. The other schools had to defer to them to keep them happy. Likely included was Ga Tech, Va Tech, and Miami too as they are FB schools.

I feel it's pretty ignorant at this point to exclude UConn from expansion candidate lists from these so called journalists. Not that we'd top this list in this article but still my point stands.

Believe me, USF doesn't have a chance. Their academic fraud scandal has come at a terrible time.

Seriously? Read my post again and tell me where I needed you to believe USF doesn't have a chance. My post was about the ignorance of these journalists covering expansion, just happened to use a USF beat piece as an example.

I know, I was just passing along my opinion since the letters USF came up. Btw, I didn't read the piece.

FSU was serious enough that the President ordered a financial study of travel costs and prepped the BOT....

The GOR was signed because ESPN promised a network, Louisville was added, Notre Dame came on for five games and ESPN bumped the payout.

Has anyone seen this... It seems to align with timing and other news we are hearing on Cinci and he has gained over 100 followers since midnight

Wouldn't make any sense. First off I very much doubt anyone is starting in 2017. Second, why would they stagger the entrances?

Then again, he's "Steve The Big 12 Source" so it's tough to argue with him

BYU has the most scheduling issues due to future contracts, they are the least likely to be able to start in 2017. Although no exit fees/timelines in football, anyway.
