Yawn! LSU and Arkansas? The fit perfectly in the SEC and make big dollars, so naturally they're reaching out to the Big Ten. Must not be getting enough page hits or radio listeners to come up with that one.
Not even Big 10. Big 12. Don't you get it. Both leagues would have 12!

hilarious new tweets from whaler's bud mh3,
"But GOR or no GOR the big 12 realizes its not completely safe from expansion. There is still on school with a cheating heart"
"Long term plans for big12 involves expansion but short term 10 is best."
"FWIW the ACC needs only fear the B1G until they have a finalized GOR. Big 12 has no interest in any ACC school at this time"
It has been a really slow morning....plus I think mh3 is totally legit![]()
when the wheels stop turning I have a feeling Uconn will be in the ACC.
Actually the WV CR posts are more shotgun than rifle.Go WVU Rifle Team!
I have a feeling in my gut that this will be the final outcome too. Makes too much sense and we fit well with the ACC North Division and would be a logical partner for Syracuse, Pitt, BC or maybe even Notre Dame or Louisville and with Syracuse we strengthen the ACC access to New York in a way that Syracuse alone simply doesn't. As I wrote elsewhere, I heard Tranghese speak very logically about the Big East strategy toward New York which most people don't understand. It is actually not a bad college market but it is a very disjointed market. Gavitt got that and Tranghese, for all his faults, and they were legion, understood it too. You can't get the new York college market with any single team. You need to get it from multiple points, Rutgers, UConn, Syracuse, even St Johns, Notre Dame and Seton Hall helped when they were all a part of the Big East. They all had pieces and they "cross-pollinated" which made it work. If you only have 1 you only have a very small piece of the whole. The Big will lose the Syracuse and UConn pieces. The ACC won't get UConn & Rutgers, all lose the basketball pieces which are more or less scattered to the winds now. The St Johns alum who watches college football is as likely to watch the SEC as the ACC now since he has no conneciton any more for example.Follow up tweets from MH3
still nothing for Uconn? Hard to believe that school with excellent academics and athletics still stuck in AAC
when the wheels stop turning I have a feeling Uconn will be in the ACC.

GT and Virginia to Big 10. Miami and FSU to Big 12. 'Confirmed by WVU'

"Eat your heart out, West Virginia bloggers"
Again, out of Louisville and West Virginia, there's no question who has had the better recent run of success and I welcome UofL into the conference.
And that's why Big 12 took them. They should have taken both though and we would most likely not been in this mess.Why does Louisville get such a pass on football?
If I'm a fan, I'd take WV's record the last 5 years 99 times out of 100 over Louisville's.
WV beats them 4 years to 1.
Winning seasons? WV
BE Champs? WV
BCS Bowl victories? WV
FYI. A few tweets from MH3 focusing on B12 expansion and USF primarily discussed although UCF, Cincinnati, Houston, SMU, Memphis come up in the conversation.

Might the Big12 be toying with adding a pair of AAC schools to improve their bowl line-up? Stay tuned for more...

AAC ...

one in Florida

The great thing is that it still leaves us with room to grow and there a at least 4 major non-ACC schools that have shown interest ...
The crux of the new rumor is that Big 12 might be interested in offering junior members so that they don't get the full Big 12 payout but still higher than the AAC payouts to make it worth their while.

I agree the only way we get an ACC offer is if we have an offer from the B1G on the table. Even if its for a limited membership.I am sorry to all believers out there but the ACC thing is not going to happen anytime soon. Until Miami, Florida St., Georgia Tech Clemson, are out of the league we get left out. They do not want anything to do with us, especially since the ACC Network is not going to happen. Syracuse, Pitt, BC, and Louisville don't want us encroaching on their territory regardless if we pick up the series with BC again. Our best plan is to do what Manual is doing. Get as many big games against the Big 5 leagues and play hard. Win. Then hope leagues expand in the next 5 years. Anything later then that we are not considered anything more then a mid major. Our biggest fear should be if Big 12 or ACC gets pilfered by the remaining leagues and they go to four leagues of 16. Just win and win often.
UConn to the big 12 is ridicules. There are much more likely candidates in th AAC and MW than us.hilarious new tweets from whaler's bud mh3,
