Hello C-USA?

Yeah. I think KSU is definitely headed to C-USA if it all goes down.

Not sure they'd take ISU or Baylor.

they prob wouldnt just wand ISU by themselves but if they can get some other big 12 schools they would prob take em. they already have one small texas based religious school in tcu might as well add another in baylor. never hurts to have more of a presence in texas. if baylor can hold onto scott drew they will continue to be solid in basketball.

Baylor I can sort of see. Not ISU.

some insight on Chip Brown....

We like Chip Brown, we really do. His work at Orangebloods.com played a large part to give this expansion the jump start it needed in making June a relevant month in the college football circus. His early information also proved to be mostly accurate. The problem was, and to no fault of his own, Chip decided to take the ESPN and national media carousel journey which was the beginning of the end for his information and let us tell you why.

By going mainstream as the face of the information break, Chip put himself in a tough position. With all the national media focused on his tweets, twits, twerts, and whatever else he posts he became a target of schools and conferences alike.

Chip Brown is now officially a puppet.

That isn’t meant in a bad way either, but it’s the truth (ironically enough, whenever someone has the need to say it isn’t meant in a bad way, why does it always feel like it’s sad in a bad way?). Schools and conferences know that any information they feed to Chip will be posted and re-posted abroad by a variety of reputable national media outlets, creating havoc and pandemonium all the while sending those dogs off the wrong path and diverting the attention of their real intentions.

Willie, where'd you get that from?

Thanks. I think that poster might be onto something, although I do think that Chip might be right about A&M and the SEC. Everyone and their dog is talking about A&M to the SEC down here, and Aggie fans at this point will settle for nothing less. The fact that Scott Van Pelt also talked about A&M to the SEC makes me think that there might be something there. However, that Ohio State poster could be right about Chip Brown being a puppet of Texas. Dodds and co. are playing everyone like a fiddle right now.

espn4d    RT @Lesleymccaslin: The #ut brd of regents will meet tuesday morning about realignment

Where would BYU and TCU leave for....

schadjoe    Does addition of Boise make Utah, BYU or TCU less likely to leave? Ummm, probably not.

LOL

franfraschilla    If KU gets stuck in BCS musical chairs game, Bill Self will have 2 years to evaluate EVERY top coaching job that comes open!

schadjoe    MWC could still potentially add Kansas, Kansas State

LOL

franfraschilla    I don't care what league, outside of BIg 10, KU ends up in, a great and historic basketball program will be diminished and that is sad.

BloomOnHoops    Texas is afraid, and their media lines show it. A&M has really struck a nerve: http://abloomwithaview.tumblr.com

I HAVE SPOKEN TO HIGH RANKING MEMBERS AT FOUR BIG EAST MEMBER INSTITUTIONS AND THEY ALL CONFIRMED INTEREST IN EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDING KANSAS, KANSAS STATE, IOWA STATE AND MISSOURI TO THE CONFERENCE. IN OTHER WORDS IF SOMEONE WANTS TO TALK TO THEM THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO LISTEN.

It seemed weird to me he was the one getting all the scoops. Kinda convenient. Of course he has been correct on quite a few things...I'd say the A&M part has legs. Will the Texas "group" let them do their own thing??

don't understand why anyone was holding out hope for NU.  pretty much been a guarantee that they were leaving for the past week.  why would the South 5 be holding their breathe at all?  Except maybe about what to do with A&M?

[goldenticket]

ive taken for granted the big 12 is done. but if they try to replace nebraska and colorado what teams do they go after?
