Pitt, Syracuse, conference commissioners and university presidents and ADs are getting raked over the coals by the "traditionalists" who are questioning both the integrity and necessity of all the conference realignment. I just think that this is really going to slow down the process if Texas and Oklahoma don't make their respective moves in the next 48 hours. Sadly, it is guys like Tranghese that are venting to the detriment of some BE teams.
What could happen is that all stay put, ACC at 14, SEC at 12 without A&M, B-12, B1G and PAC at status quo. That really screws the BE. The BE would have to react by adding UCF and maybe Houston, but it is only a matter of time before the ball starts rolling again and we are all in the same situation. Competitively we don't loose much (trading Pitt and 'Cuse for UCF and Houston) but again the perception gods are against the BE in a big way.
