This was posted on another board:
"Listening to local Austin sports radio this morning, thought I'd pass along this commentary from Chip Brown (he was the guy that largely broke the news on the last round of realignment). He said:
- Gee and Boren are pushing hardest for expansion. (Not Starr)
- The only school that has any partial consensus (emphasized partial) is Cincinnati, and it's weak, even from WVU and OU
- no consensus whatsoever on 2nd school, no consideration yet for any more than that
- within the last two days, the B12 has been able to make enough modifications to the deregulation proposal to get the B10 buy in and get it to pass.
- if it passes, it's unlikely that there will be expansion. It's also highly possible they will forego a CCG, and will instead focus on strengthening OOC (mandated power 5) scheduling to offset the CCG.
Not sure this is really even news, and take it for what it's worth. Chip certainly has his issues, but he gets expansion items correctly more often than not.
Just thought I'd pass it along."
