Message: [QUOTE="arbitragegls, post: 507256, member: 302"] ...this is a reasonable article to read as it covers both sides of realignment...going to happen-- well it isnt going to happen (some would say Chip Brown writer is Dodds' mouthpiece--Dodds is Athletic Director of TX). What is interesting as I noted in an earlier thread, there is not one main stream pundit, reporter, sports anchor writing and/or speaking about realignment at this time--aside from agreeing there is lots of chatter out of Swaim, Dude, MHVer3 etc. [B]My source is closed mouth on this[/B] and I believe that is because there is nothing to say; however, I am eager to hear something from the ACC offices about the TV renegotiation with ESPN; what is happening with Notre Dame; and what is the expectation for not only a new revenue share plan but also the TV/digital network (albeit the digital network is in place and actually quite good (that has been discussed previously). It should be noted that the Big 12 is having meetings Monday and Tuesday this coming week and that expansion is on the agenda. A few interesting comments from this article: [LIST] [*][SIZE=12px][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#000000]Multiple sources in the Big 12 told Orangebloods.com on Wednesday the Big Ten has tried to gauge the interest of Georgia Tech, North Carolina and Virginia about possibly joining Maryland in the Big Ten. [B]But the sources said those schools have indicated to the Big Ten thanks but no thanks - for now.[/B][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=12px][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#000000]"We may decide 10 is the best option no matter what. But I think we have to talk about every possible scenario as a league."(Blowsby-Big 12 Conference) That sentiment was shared by three other officials at different Big 12 schools Wednesday. [B]Those sources said it's doubtful the Big 12 reaches a decision to take action on expansion in the meetings in Dallas. But contingency plans could certainly be made.[/B][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=12px][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#000000]Texas athletic director Deloss Dodds and football coach Mack Brown have been outspoken that an upset in a football title game could derail a national title bid by the conference. [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/LIST] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=12px][FONT=Verdana]Once again, there is lots of chatter seemingly coming from the WVU side and/or affiliates that want the ACC to be hit hard...[/FONT][I][B][FONT=Verdana]no fury like a scorned university[/FONT][/B][/I]...so I am sure all of us will be paying close attention over the next week and beyond. [B]ALSO NOTE THAT IN ORDER FOR A TEAM AND CONFERENCE TO ENTER THE '14 SEASON[/B] (first of the new BCS Bowl regimen) movement most likely has to take place soon.[/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][SIZE=12px]Hope this helps and keeps us from that ledge...Go 'Cuse![/SIZE][/COLOR] [url]http://texas./content.asp?CID=1463673[/url] [/QUOTE]
