This guy on the WV boards could be full of shiiite. For the sake and well being of this thread, i prefer to think he is not.

Just a few notes from what I was just told

FSU and Clemson are gagging everyone in their AD's to not talk about any rumors

Swofford and Espn deadlocked

B12 will offer to pay half of FSU and Clemson exit fees and make both equal partners with no graduated plan. WVU and TCU would also be immediately full members as well

B12 will create a committee devoted to brokering research partnerships in-conference in the effort to raise their lagging schools' academic profiles.

Rumblings from up north.

Incorrect. Pac 12 wanted to substitute KU for OSU at the 11th hour, which made OU and Texas uncomfortable, and ultimately led to the Big 12 sticking together. Just because you don't want to believe it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Trust me, it didn't happen.

We're not getting FSU or miami. That's Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

Yeah, why would they want to join a legitimate football conference and make a ton of money when they could stay with their perfectly shitty deal in the ACC? They just added juggernauts in Syracuse and Pitt, after all.

Whatever you say G Swaim.

Lots of infighting on that thread, but lots of fun rumors too.

* GT is rumored to be in play now, in addition to FSU and Clemson. Not a stretch to think other ACC teams would come along for the ride if you get those two (3?).
* Texas poster "BrownCounty" is saying that the Big 12 will land Clemson, FSU, Miami, Louisville/GT in July. Apparently has decent credibility as a poster.
* Swaim now saying BYU out of the picture, which is mostly worthless, but there ya go.

I have some huge news concerning BCS play-off money and distribution of it(or lack thereof in some instances)....I really can't get into it very much only that it has a HUGE impact on some of these ACC teams you have been hearing...thats all I can give on that for now....

I can give this nugget I just confirmed though: VT and MD are both indeed in "talks" with the B12 now as well

***note, that was taken from the guy who started the WVU thready linked earlier****

And ku

AAU institution. Pac 12 wanted us (academically and basketball), remember?

At no point, ever, was KU a consideration for the PAC-12 without OU and OSU already going ahead of them. Remember?

And also, "Pac 12 wanted us" is just ridiculous delusion. The Pac 12 didn't want you. The Pac 12 plane was in Lawrence for 3 hours as the plans for the teams to the south going started to fall apart. That does not constitute "Pac 12 wanted us".

Incorrect. Pac 12 wanted to substitute KU for OSU at the 11th hour, which made OU and Texas uncomfortable, and ultimately led to the Big 12 sticking together. Just because you don't want to believe it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Yeah, like we are going to believe any BCS conference actually wants a program that hasn't won a conference football game in 8 years*.

Thank God K-State wasn't begging to other conferences to let them in...and instead stuck with the big boys to make the conference stronger. Now we are making lots and lots of money and have the football lords of the ACC begging to get in the action.

Feels great...

BYU is pushing hard to come into the B12, I was always for having them in the conference to have another decent football/basketball program. I want to the be the Big 12 again, I miss the Arrowhead trips for a Big XII championship football game. What are the odds/who want's us to actually get back to 12 teams? http://www.mwcconnection.com/2012/4/13/2946145/big-12-should-expand-says-wvs-ad-oliver-luck I also wouldn't mind having a decent Louisville team... Opinions?

There is a pretty large thread about smoking cigars that you might want to read.

I never claimed on being overly smart so your response confuses me, first because it has nothing to do with the thread, second I don't smoke cigars

Lol! That threads too long anyway.

I'm all for 12 teams. If it has to be BYU, we could do worse.
