    Extra credit for the Illuminati reference. Toss in cabal for good measure. I was wondering how credible this might be until that...

          Greg Swaim of Big Time Sports is reporting:

          What we've all been waiting for may be on the verge of coming to fruition, with the #Big12 finally getting in the game and blowing up #ACC.
          We'll have a story up over the weekend at http://GregSwaim.com as more details come in, but expect Bowslby to say more shortly. #Big12

                    I was asking if your post was a prediction. But now I've looked at Swaims tweets, where he mentions GT, FSU, Clemson, and.... Miami.

                          Three of the four are at or above 14. How long can the PAC stay at 12? What are their options? How much do they hate BYU?

                          Answer: a while, SDSU/UNLV, and a lot.

                          Sigh.

                            Viking's prophesy of the PAC 12 being forced to take BYU is on the verge of being fulfilled!

                              IF true, the PAC-12 has played this one right. Equal access to the pie, fewer mouths to feed with it.
                              I think, perhaps, the only person who hates BYU fans more than ute fans hate BYU fans, is Bronco Mendenhall.

                                Equal access to what pie? A media deal for a big 12 with the rumored additions would be incredibly lucrative.
