Surely you agree that public confirmation is often an unreliable determination in reading the landscape. After all, there was absolutely no public confirmation of Syracuse/Pittsburgh going to the ACC until 36-48 hours before it happened.

I believe the comments you're referring to last summer came from DeLoss Dodds, but nonetheless what they say publicly and what they're saying privately are so very different. They have been very forward about talking to the Pac-12 and ACC in the past few months. No question about that. To me... that should tell you something right there. That's straight out of the negotiation playbook--throw out a bunch of false leads and misdirection while keeping your true intentions quiet.

As a matter of fact... there was a small contingent of folks from Ohio State that visited Texas a couple of months ago. From everything I was told by someone within the inner circle there, they weren't in town to discuss the southern climate ;)

(BTW, the people that were tracking all sorts of planes from Big 12 to SEC country also confirmed an OSU plane landing in Austin, though amazingly it didn't get much attention at the time as it got lost in the shuffle of all the Texas A&M stuff)
