The last 3 ADs at UH mentioned that at some point you would see a major shift in the major conferences. It may have already started with the recent expansion comments from the PAC10 and Big 10.

Rumor has it one of the networks has floated a significant amount of money for the Big 10 to expand with Mizzou, BC, UConn, Syracuse and Rutgers. This would capture a significant number of TV markets. Division setup and scheduling have been discussed. Some schools have been open to the idea of these 16 teams. .

Assuming Pac 10 invites Utah and Colorado and Arkansas joins the big 12, then we could see quite a few dominoes fall. Don't forget Arkansas AD Broyles told UH AD Maggard that Arkansas wants back with the Texas school and would assist UH in joing them in the Big 12. That Arkansas and UH need to be in the same conference.

This round of realingment will get very interesting.
