Welcome to Texas conference fans.

I was trying to find a follow-up on this, but most of the stories are about rumors, in other words these articles are 'rumors about rumors'. I stumbled on this one, by some guy who calls himself 'Mr. Sec'.



And I thought this might open a can of worms here:

Indeed.

I think WVU to the BIG XII and Mizz and aTm going to the SEC started out as rumors, no? Anything is possible now.

Hello, sir. Yes, that's why I floated that one out there. It's actually kind of amazing how the message boards and web sites are driving the conversation. 10 years ago, basically only the big donors, at any program, knew what was really going on and what type of team was going to take the field before the season started. Now that information is trickling down a bit. But there definitely is some noise in the process - hard to know what to filter out.

Yes, and I found it both shallow and pedantic.

big 12 will turn into the big 14(which they already own the rights for)..fsu,clemson and 2 more......guessing louisville and who knows for the 14th school

after the bcs play-off vote comes in and is finalized.....

got this from a guy on 247"bushidoNole"

And to break it down to stupid people...

Here's the pitch.
B12: So how would you like to join the Big 12?
FSU: Mehh. Six moths ago you were trying to join us. We'll see how this plays out.
B12: Fair enough. We'd like to show you some stuff to think about. First, here is a chart at what the conferences made from the BCS over the last 10 years:
SEC - $260 million. Big 12 - $250 million Big 10 - $245 million Pac 12 - $240 million ACC - $210 million Big East - $200 million
Now have you reviewed the new BCS rules that will go in effect in the next contract?
FSU: No.
B12: Well you should. If you applied those rules to the last 10 years of football this chart shows what the breakdown of how the BCS Revenue would have been divided up:
SEC - $400 million Big 12 - $375 million Pac 12 - $360 million Big 10 - $342 million ACC - $127 million Big East - $60 million
FSU - (stunned silence)
B12 - you see. You got three problems. First, when confronted last year with the reality of realignment, the ACC, your conference made a basketball decision. It will continue to do that. If you want to be in a basketball league you're in the right place because they will continue to make basketball decisions. Second, you are in a race you can't win. You cannot get outspent by Florida by a 4:1 margin and stay competitive. It is simply not possible. And that is where this is going. Third, your final problem is that other schools in your conference get this and they liked our charts.

The ACC is the single largest content provider to all of the ESPN networks, whether college or pro.

Interesting - ESPN's stake in the ACC might prevent the B12 from a successful raid. The article also linked to this list of the most-viewed fb games on ESPN, which I found somewhat surprising:

1. Virginia Tech-Boise State (2010) 7,251,601 households
2. Ohio State-USC (2009) 7,243,011
3. Miami-FSU (2006) 6,329,828
4. Miami-FSU (2009) 5,820,001
5. West Virginia-Louisville (2006) 4,915,915
6. Miami-Florida (2008) 4,886,206
7. Miami-FSU (1994) 4,846,320
8. FSU-Clemson (2007) 4,842,356

I wonder if we had something to do with that number one game
