Division 1 College Conference Realignment

GabeDeArmond and Dave_Matter are the Missouri guys and GSwaim is a Big XII guy. Then they often retweet other guys who follow closely though I haven't personally followed them since I end up seeing them anyway.

And evidently there's some talks of Notre Dame joining the Big XII for everything but football. Doesn't seem of high likelihood, probably just ND looking for a way out of the Big East.

You have to realize that ESPN doesn't want Missouri to leave the Big XII, so of course they're going to report on all the positive things that happen between the Big XII and Missouri. They left a lot out about what happened at the meeting yesterday and reported on what seemed like Missouri was staying. As I've said before, I have a source that comes from Big XII country as well and I've been hearing very similar things as McCall. When it's all said and done, I'll be completely surprised if Mizzou isn't sitting in the SEC.

Dude, what the hell are we gonna do when this is all over?

With West Virginia and TCU joining the Big XII, the Big East MUST be stripped of their automatic BCS bid. As of this now, that conference is no better than the WAC.

That's why I believe even more that the rumor of them merging with MWC and C-USA is true, that's if they'll even take what's left of the Big East.

No, it's arguably worse. Time to pull the plug.

I'm just waiting for when these schools realize being in these 14-16 team "superconferences" isn't all it's cracked up to be and start looking for greener pastures.

I once had a car but I crashed it. I once had a guitar but I smashed it. I once, wait where am I going with this?

Well, there is always going to be the plateau affect, no matter the topic or subject. That could be what these conferences are reluctant about. It seems the 12-14 range is a for-sure increase in revenue from TV, marketing, bowls, etc. However, the jump from 14-15/16 may not be as certain as the jump from 12-14.

Just in case no one's heard, Missouri and SEC Officials are meeting right now in Birmingham to discuss Missouri's move. The hope is that they can announce Missouri as the 14th team this week, especially before the game against Texas A&M on Saturday. That all being said, Missouri isn't expected to join the SEC until the 2013 school year, however I'm sure that can change.

Pathetically, there's actually serious talk of the Big Least, Conference USA, and Mountain West merging into a 32-team conference. No, I am not making this up. Boise State and Houston need to get the hell out while they can.

I posted that Boston Globe story, with the full details over the weekend.

You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting. Kind of a low-rent DG_Now.

Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.
