Red and Black are more of an Attitude than merely a color combination.

I wouldn't be surprised to see fans put that in writing on social media or fan boards. I would be absolutely shocked to see a school president or chancelor say it, much less actually vote to do it.

BTY, the teams mentioned about joining the Big 12 from the PAC 12 are all saying that they are staying. Does this sound familiar? Report: 4 Pac-12 teams meeting with Big 12 about possible move (yahoo.com)

I really don't think that the California teams add value. They do not fill their stadiums, they do not bring viewers to the TV, they are losing football fans left and right. I saw a prediction that soccer is going to be the number one sport at those schools by the end of the decade. I say that pick the six that are being talked about and then wait for the ACC to implode.

The boys down in Memphis are feeling left out. For those fellow geezers out there who grew up listening to the likes of Dusty Springfield in the '60s, the Tigers are "Wishin' and Hopin' ".

Here's the latest from Pete Thamel of espn.com ($). Essentially, he cautions against anyone thinking realignment is being rushed through. Kliavkoff has convinced the remaining P12 school to crunch the numbers before considering any movement. Thamal also says that the contacts between the B12 and "Four Corner" schools hasn't been as deep as reported (although there has been contact).
Every party's CFO's are hard at work to provide the data needed to make any decisions. In the case of the B12, the data will be designed to convince P12 schools to take the leap. Beyond that, he believes the P12's financial future is unlikely to generate sufficient incentive for either the P12/ACC accommodation or retaining P12 membership to be viable.

"Would the ACC just be better off selectively poaching a few schools in major markets new to the ACC? That list could include Cincinnati, TCU, Houston, Washington, Oregon, Cal, Stanford, Arizona State, Colorado and Oklahoma State? (Only Oklahoma State has a limited market, but it has a strong program.)"

Really good thread here from our old friend Andrea Adelson on the GoR situation with the ACC. I’m assuming this will eventually be a column on ESPN.com
