I have to call Baloney on this.  I have my inside source (Goes by the secret name of Rutgers A.L.), anyway, he has it on good authority from the bartender at Joe's Tavern and Grill, who regularly serves well placed RU administrative personnel (one as high as 3rd assistant maintenance engineer) that Rutgers is being pulled into the B1G with Oklahoma to salvage what they can.  Texas appears to be begging to tag along, but the B1G is demanding that UT is only welcome if they can play nice with Baylor and bring them in too.  This seems to be the hold up. UT cannot play nice with other Texas schools so it is unclear whether the two Texas schools will be coming or not.  Expect a decision within the week, announcement to follow immediately.
 
Source also says that if this occurs, ND is already begging ACC to accept ND in all sports as this fills the B1G slots and they cannot get in.
 
Finally source says, and has corroborated with a secondary source in Texas (ChipB) and  third source in West Virginia (a man he calls the Dude) that Alabama and Florida (with Tennessee and Mississippi  possibly joining them) are heading to the Big East for NYC exposure.  Claims NNBE TV deal will be close enough for them to make it work and that they would have better access to the New Jersey recruits they have so long coveted but with Rutgers heading to the B1G, the loss of this recruiting ground must be preserved for their future stability as top ranked teams.
 
Anyway, that's what he said...
