Latest from my sources
A few of us were in Tokyo the previous week trying to wrap up a few lucrative business deals. It so happened that two of the guys I was with are prominent boosters at some very prominent schools that know a lot about the inner workings of 2 prestigious conferences. Towards the tail end of our visit we opted for a lite meal, so we went out for some grade A sushi. Well, we got to talking about realignment. Well the conversation was pretty interesting, and I can't get into too many specifics. But if you follow some of the clues that I drop, you'll be able to figure out what I'm talking about. Anyways, there is still some rumblings out there that a few schools would like to move into other conferences that have higher TV payouts, better academics and more athletic traditions. However, the majority of the schools out there are very content with where they are currently situated. It's looking like things may be wrapping up soon. I'll post more info as I get it.

I am not sure the bait you have been using in other threads is really
"grade a sushi." If only we could get some "serious threads."

I'm not going to stoop to your level due to play "tit for tat" because you wish you had the same connections that I possess. You can get them too in time if you put a little bit of work into being social to others, being quick witted and putting in the hard work needed to get ahead in life. However, I will answer one of your questions that I highlighted above.

You can get some serious threads at a great price if you ever get the chance to go to Seoul. There are a lot of great tailors who can make some high quality suits, dress pants, sports coats and shirts.

Just recognize that what I posted in the OP is factually accurate, and as usual I am not misleading you down the wrong path.

You're welcome.

That is an actual picture of Miko. Of course, as always, the above OP text was translated to english from its original French form. Sometimes his OP's lose a little in the translation process.

RE: Latest from my sources
I don't know Miko I find that suits tailored in Seoul tend to ride up a bit in the crotch. Most of Asia seems to grab us there right now on the exchange rate anyway. But given your penchant for sushi have you tried the diced and rolled puffer fish? If you like sushi it's simply heavenly.

I find that those well connected people tend to be the ones that intentionally float disinformation to discussion room posters. Perhaps inverting your logic will yield a clearer picture of realignment's future.

Looking at it that way confirms what I've heard here. Athletics and Academics are about to be at the forefront of SEC activity. Slive will be announcing soon the new Ivy / SEC partnership. Harvard at Mississippi State will be unveiled next year as a breakthrough in cultural exchanges. Ditto for the calling of the Hogs at Princeton.

Keep up the good work and just keep dropping those vital clues on the down low (inverted of course) by those in the know.

You people are guessing all wrong.

These are Miko's sources, right?

So, like everyone else on this board who claims to be telling us what they're "hearing" from their "sources", the sources are "obviously" revealing a scenario that would be unbelievably good for Miko's favorite team.

Sources say: Pittsburgh to the SEC.

I don't believe that the ACC will lose any more teams. But if it did...

That one is not out of the realm of what has been discussed in Birmingham. It was deemed that if the SEC had to take U.N.C., Duke, N.C. State, Virginia and Virginia Tech to get into those two states that Pitt would be a sixth that would add enough new markets to actually cover an additional team from N. Carolina and render such a venture a slight profit to the conference.

Now in fairness that would be one heckuva long shot. But the scenario was discussed. I know the SEC want's name brand flagship schools but in my humble opinion we would be better off with N.C. State and Virginia Tech in the long run than we would be having to take U.N.C. and Duke or more to get into those states.

But then I buck the trend by believing that Clemson and F.S.U. should be selected by the SEC as well. In all of the country the two best fits for the SEC are Florida State and Clemson. Then I would like to see the SEC finish it off at 20 with West Virginia and an Oklahoma school.

Let the Big 10 have Duke, Virginia, and U.N.C. along with Georgia Tech. They would be happy. And they would have two slots left with which to invite Notre Dame and a friend of the Irish, and if still rebuffed to go after another New England school and Kansas to get to 20.

It's not going to happen but if it did it would fit better all the way around than what is being discussed for the Big 10 and SEC.

Personally I think the ACC becomes stable and the PAC, SEC and Big 10 eventually go to 16 out of the remaining Big East and Big 12. Kansas and either Iowa State or Connecticut for the Big 10.
West Virginia and either Oklahoma State or one of TCU/Baylor to the SEC and Texas, Texas Tech, Kansas State, Oklahoma to the PAC.

It's interesting that you say this, because my sources did tell me to use a discerning eye/ear when reading/listening to news about expansion when looking at blogs, reading news from journalists or watching the news on TV. What they told me is that sometimes the information will be the exact opposite of what was actually stated while in other cases the info might be dead on. There may even be situations where the info is only partially correct. But I was told to rest assured that you will be able to tell the difference between each scenario laid out. The clue is that you will be able to tell what is what based on how the info is delivered along with the context in which the info was provided. When these clues are taken into account, you will know which scenario the provider of the info is following.

It's great being connected and knowing things that a lot of others do not. As usual, I'll provide more as I get it.

You're welcome.
