[Who'sYourData?]

Twitter beginning to buzz that we'll soon hear Mizzou to SEC and WVU to B12.

I have a hard time believing WVU to the Big 12.  Mac Brown was on ESPN the other day and said that he wanted the conference to stay regional.

Plus, I think Texas really wants the league to stay at 9 programs and will exert their power to do so.

Per their TV contract, they must have at least 10. 

More interesting rumors from Greg Swaim.

Look for Louisville and Cincinnati to be on deck for offers as well, and perhaps later the conference would look at the mountain time zone for BYU and perhaps another team. Earlier today the athletic director at Air Force said they had been “approached†by the Big 12, but did not mention an offer, as one had never been made. In fact, we’re hearing as of yesterday that the conference had “approached†over a dozen teams, including the ones mentioned above, as well as USF, UCF, SMU, Houston and believe it or not…Tulane and Memphis.

Smart move by them. No need to jump aboard a ship(BE) that is being captained by an idiot.

BE is going to announce very soon that John Marinatto is going to commit seppuku for his mistakes as a poor leader.

Who cares?  I'm much more concerned about when we are going to make our announcement that we are moving to the ACC or Big 12.
