A lot of former scout insider subscribers know that I had some business connections with some folks that are affiliated with other BCS conferences.  I ha e remained mum on a lot of the recent discussion due to he fact that a lot of misinformation (some intentionally leaked some just totally bogus) is being chucked around the Internet.

I am not going into a lengthy or overly detailed post on a public forum, however, i do want to clarify a few things out there, most of which are known or a person with half a brain could figure out.

First, major conference alignment is inevitable.  I posed this a few years back and it remains true no matter what the folks at Baylor want to believe.  It could happen in a day, month, or over a few years.

Despite what the folks at the ACC or BE claim, the power lies in the hands of the B10, SEC, and PAC 12.  I'm not so sure these calls between the three have not BCS conferences have so much to do with expansion as they do contingency plans.  Think you can figure out what that means.

The B10 is being quiet. Can't imagine 12 looks so good compared to 14 or 16.  The tv execs have said as much.

As to some strong personal beliefs I hold:  the hybrid B12/BE conference is a band aid for all those involved.  It preserves a seat at the table, but it's still a kiddie table.  the better option would be a true Atlantic Coast conference. I believe that conference could thrive and would have the ability to eventually compete with the 3 big ones - the eyeballs alone would bring in a lot of dough.  Boston through Miami.  No way the future big nesw last IMO - just mess.

There's a reason Syracuse is very quiet on this.  My gut tells me there is a quiet confidence up on the hill.
