So the Gulf of Mexico is now the Atlantic Ocean?

It has to be someone trying to put the media off the scent of what is really going on...

Well, it jives with the rumor on the Marquette board of WV to the SEC and Pitt, Louisville, and UC w/the Big 12 leftovers to form a new conference.

ACC can't renegotiate their contract if they expand. So from going to 12 million per school, it might be 11 million? Yes, I'm sure ACC schools will vote on that.

Texas is just throwing **** on the wall and hopefully something will stick

See area highlighted in blue...? Yup.

I guess Chip Brown should have spoke to The ACC about Texas moving to The ACC.

John Swofford, commissioner of the ACC, all but shot down a report out of Austin that his league was interested in taking Rutgers, Syracuse, UConn and Texas.

He also alluded to the reason why the Big 12 is in trouble is because of the Longhorn Network and the uneven distribution of TV monies.

Swofford was asked if he would bring in any entity that created uneven distribution.

"I don't think that you ever say never about anything these days but that has been a very strong principle in our league since the middle '80s," he said. "I think that it's one that has a lot to do with the stability of conferences."

What about Auburn and Alabama? I know they are SEC, but doesn't Alabama get credit for touching the "Atlantic" via the GOM?

The Gulf of Mexico is a separate body of water. It's not part of the Atlantic. If you're going to include it because it touches the Atlantic, you might as well add the Pacific coast too...

Isn't San Jose on the wrong coast?

Nah, SJSU is East Bay!!!

If Chip is floating something like this it is because DeLoss Dodds is telling him to float it. BTW, Swafford didnt deny the ACC had been talking to Texas. Instead, he tried to laugh it off without actually issuing a denial.
