    Hard to get excited about any of these rumors until there is a real media outlet talking about it.

    These are encouraging rumors! I'd be happy with either one The Pros and cons of either greatly outweigh the AAC - i.e. the money!

    I do believe that SMU and Memphis will find a home in Big 12 if UC and UConn go to the ACC. I believe UConn and ACC is a lock when expansion comes.

    I do feel a bit for Central Florida. I cannot see the ACC downsizing in any way, Fla State or Miami, leaving the Big 12 as their only option. I cannot see a fit with the Big 12 if their fans didn't want to travel to Arizona, will they travel to Iowa or Kansas? I know the B1G wants to get into Florida as well, so maybe they forego the rule of states being contiguous.

    Where there is smoke there is fire. Let's get the realignment bon fire growing!

    I heard rumors that at the Belk Bowl there were whispers of an impending B12 invite from some very prominent UCats donors during the cocktail hour.

    Either way I would be VERY pleased but I feel like I would greatly prefer the ACC.

    Rumors are floating that in 2 weeks or so ACC could be talking about inviting Uconn and UC to the ACC to have 16 team football and 17team basketball. Again, just rumors from this guy: https://twitter.com/B1GConn/status/418604864323977216

    Conference title game decision

    Texas does not want to expand the Big 12 (currently at ten) and it may not matter what they want. They want a shot at the four team playoff. If the only way to get to the Playoff is to win conference championship game, then the Big 12 will expand. Expansion will add enough tv dollars to make the revenue the same for teams like Texas. They will get creative allowing new members a little less or or something because they are not giving up what they have. The money will be resolved.

    Hard to say right now. I think we're basically waiting on Texas to do what ever is it their going to do with the football, basketball and baseball coaches first and then the new AD, Steve Patterson probably has to decide whether he wants to be on the side of expansion or not.

    One notable development from yesterday. Chip Brown at Orangebloods, who has eventually gotten everything right with Texas so far, reported that Texas interviewed Charlie Strong yesterday.
