***OFFICIAL BIG 12 EXPANSION THREAD 2.0***

[jburke]

Does FakeDanBeebe have the pulse on this situation?

Yep, making fun of Delaney.....

I think the ACC tries to not just replace Maryland but to be the 1st conf to 16 by going after UCONN, Louisville, and another Big East school (probably Cincy). But while they do this, I bet every current ACC school is seeing what options it has for leaving the ACC for anything better ASAP.

Fat chance. Cincy to the ACC is laughable.

Chip Brown ‏@ChipBrownOB L'ville has been hoping for call from #Big12, but any moves by #Md and #Rutgers to #B10 not likely to change Big12's stance on 10 for now.

If chip says that, I'm convinced that expansion is coming now. I for one welcome our new seminole overlords.

This is about football what does any of those schools add for the football cache of the ACC? And limited to no markets. This is why I believe the Big 12 will go after FSU this time. I think Maryland opened a huge door and they can fight the 50 mil buyout since they voted against it.

I really think FSU is in the bag here. I didnt believe it for a second in August but I do now, Big 12 did not want to be "that league".

@TomahawkNation: RT @BryanDFischer: RT @wilnerhotline: Realignment source: UConn to ACC could happen as soon as Tuesday.

And FSU will react awesome to this

Florida has always been against Miami or FSU joining the SEC which is one thing the B12 has going for it.

With LJ playing well in Tampa I am starting to get as excited as a two peckered puppy! STARZZZZZZZZZZ

What did Syracuse add for their Football Cache? ACC preemptively went to 14 because they were making a preemptive strike. Why not go to 16, and see if you can hold. Not sure if it will work, but worth a try.

Wow. This $h!7 is really going down then.

As an aside: Listening to Maryland radio and their fans and prominent alum are freaking ****** about this move to the B1G.

The Under Armor guy (Plank?) responds by telling them to put their money where their mouth is like he has. 100% support from their top athletic supporter.

I still think the 50 mil buyout has 0 substance. They will be out for around 20 mil.

I agree. Buyouts are a joke.

The days of round robin in the Big12 will be over soon..

I agree. Wouldnt surprise me if Plank sold that stock to put up a guarantee that it will not be a problem either way though
