So who is #16? MO? KS? ND? Delany has a busy weekend ahead. Looks like one last shot to get TX and ND to B10.
I thought it was decided that Texas, A&M, and Oklahoma were all staying in the same conference for rivalry states. I figured Tech would be the odd man out.
This Orlando Sentinel item seems to have a good summary of why A&M might want to split with Texas and join the SEC. Proximity-wise the SEC would seem to make a lot more sense than the Pac-10. What's the distance from College Station to Seattle--nearly 1,900 miles? Think about having to routinely pay for that sort of travel for nonrevenue sports.
One of the commenters to that item made a good point about A&M being a military school and thus being a poor cultural fit with the "left coast" schools of the Pac-10.
Stanford and Washington State are looking for t-shirts, bed sheets, pillow cases, anything white, to tie around a stick and wave it.
I thought there was a report saying Texas and A&M were going to Big Ten, Oklahoma to SEC and Tech is assed out.
But you know what, enough with all these "reports" because it changes daily. From the Big Ten to Izzo to Lebron theres a new report everyday and its different from the day before. A lot of people are killing their credibility in order to try to be the one to break the news. Either that or the sources just suck.
A story based on a single anonymous source is, by definition, not "official".
Yea... I read that... Anonymous Source has had a busy week.
Mia Wallace: Who says that?
Vincent Vega: They.
Mia: They say a lot, don't they?
Vincent: They sure do.
Remember when the ESPN scroll said "Miles to Michigan"?
Speaking of that, Les Miles is on the hot seat at LSU according to a few articles I've read lately. They have their own share of recruiting allegations as well.
I'll believe it when it happens
If you believed every report that was out you'd be fried and suffering from a brain aneurysm.
T A&M can't be that stupid.
But, if the Athletic Dept. is full of A&M alumni... maybe they are.
but won't that be awkward? a 13 team conference? or then maybe if the SEC gets tex a&m they'll just go for FSU or miami
Do you think it would be more or less awkward than an 11 team conference?
