Message: [QUOTE="kyleslamb, post: 976943, member: 2505"] While I agree there's no NDA in place and no '[B]official[/B]' negotiation/contact has been made, that football contracts have been signed is highly irrelevant. Fact of the matter is that all discussions/negotiations would be made at the trustee and presidential level, and coaches and athletic directors would largely not be privy to those discussions. Maryland and the Big Ten were negotiating for nearly 4 months, and Kevin Anderson only found out about it a few days before the press conference. The day to day operations of athletic departments are going to be business as usual when it comes to scheduling and such. You won't be able to read anything into scheduling as far as whether or not schools have been having dialogue. In some cases, there might be a few ADs that are privy to what their presidents are doing in terms of realignment, but many aren't. [/QUOTE]
