LOL @ FSU in the Big XII North. I'm sure the Seminoles would do great at Iowa State in November...Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

OK, I will share one more bit of inside information.....a post off a Clemson message board outlining new "emerging" details about Clemson and FSU to the B12. The post originated on May 3. And it had some pretty bold predictions in it....that have since come true!

However, much rumor and speculation has occured in the last few years with respect to conference realignment and expansion, so some degree of caution should be exercised until a formal annoucement is issued. With that said, our sources indicated representatives from Clemson and Florida State have been in Texas for meetings with the Big 12, and it's only a matter of time before a formal invitation is made to join the Big 12.Fitter.

I'm not sure I get all of these scenarios with random teams like Louisville. If the BIG 12 can get Florida State, why would they settle for Louisville? I'm sure there a few football "powerhouses" from the ACC that would love to come: Clemson, VaTech, Miami... Why all the talk about Louisville? What am I missing?Last edited by USUC; 05-08-2012, 05:23 PM.

Exactly when was Arkansas a member of the Big 12??? I realize some in Texas think that the SWC expanded to include the Big 8 while dropping half of the SWC in the process. But many of the North saw the SWC fold and the Big 8 expand by inviting four programs from Texas.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostI have to assume that ESPN/Fox will have a pretty good say on which teams get invited given the kind of money they are putting out. Like you said this kind of money will most likely turn a few heads of teams in the SEC and ACC. (Sorry Mizzou, you're not welcome to come back. Arkansas, maybe, given an enough time has passed.)
It will be interesting to see if Longhorn, INC. has learned anything during this process. My guess would be Texas would still choose Nebraska, Mizzouri, and Texas A&M over Florida St., West Virginia, and TCU.“Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game. In the deed the glory.”
