Calculate the odds of an announcement on Good Friday and Easter Weekend when most campuses are closed for business.

I'm guessing about the same odds as an announcement during Thanksgiving break when ADs are out of the country...

The population in Fairfield County has grown in recent years and that trend will continue in key age groups. Interestingly I heard just last week the population of NYC has also increased. While the rest of CT is slowing down not everyone is moving south in 2013.

Can’t comment on Fairfield County (other than cursing traffic on I-85, I-95 & the Merritt); but, in Northern NJ school enrollment is way down and the two biggest factors being cited are #1 the economy reducing birth rates and #2 families staying in NYC proper instead of moving to the burbs like they have done in the past. Migration down south is not even noted. A few friends who work in the NYC school system agree that certain schools are bursting at the seams due to higher enrollment.

Waiting on the green light from my source within the Texas Ath Dept but expect the biggest update on Conf realignment I've ever had by Fri.
9:48pm - 25 Mar 13

Take it fwiw.

Very clever, he is, promising that the UPDATE would happen by Friday, not any actually news. The first time I read that tweet it sounded like there would be some breaking news by yesterday.
 
Best Tuxedo Yoda thread of the year: On the BYU board tryng to convince BYU to change their Sabbath to accommodate Big-12 scheduling. Or something like that.

If it is about individual choice.....
.....just be up front with the potential student-athletes could mean Sunday play.

This solves a lot of problems and makes sense for BYU.
 
I have not seen this on any thread so here it is as of March 27th
http://tuxedoyoda.blogspot.com

Take it for what it is worth... Would mean that 3 to 4 teams out of ACC. Taking away the jewel of B1G with UNC and may open us up with a UVA to be teams 14 and 15. Still can't see USF and UCF going to Big 12.
Done deal


There are 2 rock-solid, definitive statements I can make. There will be no hedging, no flip-flopping, no back-tracking. There is nothing that can fall through and no last minute shocking developments that will change things. Per my source, these 2 realignment moves have been fully negotiated and they are DONE. They have not only been blessed by the networks, they are the products of the networks, particularly Fox & CBS.

#1 When the 2014 college football season kicks off, UNC will be a member of the SEC.

#2 When the 2014 college football season kicks off, Miami will be a member of the Big 12.

Regarding #1.......I know you want to know who will join with UNC to be team #16 in the SEC. Per my source, this has not been decided.

Regarding #2.......The Big 12's preferred scenario is to only add 2 teams, FSU and Miami, and to stop at 12. Miami is a done deal. FSU is not. I was not told why. I was not told percentages of FSU joining the Big 12. I was not told if FSU is trying to join another conference or if FSU wants to stay in the ACC. I was told that if FSU refuses to join the Big 12, the next most lucrative option proposed by the networks will be carried out. The Big 12 will go to 14 with a 3-team Florida block of Miami, UCF, USF and a 4th team from the current ACC. I was not told the name of the 4th team.

Why are these things happening? This isn't about what fans, ADs or board members want. I was told this is what the networks want.

Wasn't really directed to you - but take another look at the Tweet.

It's a BYU fan who just got a message from a fortune cookie....check the fortune and then see what he wrote.

He was trying to be funny.
 
If there is any truth to UCF/USF, I'd say Clemson is the second ACC school. They have nowhere else to go.

I swear Yoda got the UCF/USF angle from me. Two days after I was writing on this board about the Raycom angle in Florida (owns 3 stations and looking for more) and speculating the ACC contract may require (or stongly encourage) that the ACC keep a Florida presence. Would USF and UCF serve as better replacements for Miami and FSU given existing media contracts than UConn and Cincy? Yoda was here and a few days later he concocted something even more outlandish than I did.

Are any former BYU players in the NFL? How do you recruit players saying we can get you to the next level but you can only play on Monday nights? :cool:

And they got relegated to Group B which is "Swap them interchangebly with any other teams in the nation and the contract is fine. No panic. No one cares. Not even us at ESPN. Hell, University of Maine and Towson State will do".
