FU fsu for using us (foreshadowing)

No way FSU gets in the SEC, right? Florida owns them.

Just filed on FSU/B12. Spoke to a number of people, no idea what happens but there is legit concern in ACC.

Also, nervous speculation within ACC is that if FSU goes B12, Miami may try also. Academic prestige of ACC may not be enough to keep UM

Big 12 source on whether league would be interested in Florida State. "I can't imagine how we wouldn't be interested in Florida State."

I don't recall Fritch tweeting about realignment until today.  I don't know what that means.

[Panjandrum]

So, the guys on the WVU board are saying that the SEC may strike first.  VT has apparently reached out to the SEC because "the writing is on the wall".

We know VT was by far the preferred #14.  Looks like someone's looking to jump this time.

[Panjandrum]

Random other things:

FSU and Clemson are in (duh)
Miami now strongly wants in
Maryland says if everyone else is getting out of Dodge, they want in, and they approached us.

Well they'll need a 16th.  I wonder who that will be (fsu)

Wetzels article is up. He seems to think based on discussions that Miami is more likely than Clemson.

As for that 12th member if the Seminoles eventually decide to move, many in the ACC believe Miami is most likely to try to chain itself to FSU and come along too. Despite Miami's recent fortunes, its presence would further cement the Big 12 in the state of Florida and give it another name program.
While Clemson is often discussed as a potential partner with FSU, many believe the school's ties to the ACC are too deep (it was a founding member in 1953) and exposure in the Atlanta and North Carolina markets are too important for the university as a whole to bolt to some far-flung league.

So help us god if we let Maryland in.   I would rather have Louisville than them for Pete's sake.

[SwiftCat]

How close is this to happening. Like, within the month? It feels like this is all moving very quickly. I don't even have time to get all riled up. hmph.

It's going to be North Carolina State or Virginia.

Florida will start shooting people if they even float the idea of inviting FSU.

June/July

There are ACC and Big 12 meetings coming up, and the BCS will finalize the new playoff in early June.  After that, all Hell will break loose.

It's so weird how FITZ keeps going with this stupid talk about Tulane.

Re: The new Big 12

Notre Dame fits nicely along that northern line and Tulane on the southern one. I swear, I think I'm the only one who buys into this Tulane talk. Two reasons: First, not every school you add can be an athletic powerhouse, but I also truly believe there are voices within the circle of presidents who will want to add an academic powerhouse to the mix to prove this isn't simply about athletics ... even though it is.

Still, adding Tulane is like picking up a Northwestern, Stanford, Duke or Vanderbilt for the Big 12. And the revenue from the Big 12 will put Tulane in a much stronger position to compete.

Plus, then we all get to go to New Orleans for games.
