It seems that a respected blogger/social media expert in conference realignment has lit the twitter universe on fire by making some claims of movement of the Big Ten to target certain schools, impacting inter alia, Missouri, UConn, Kansas, Oklahoma among others.
Mr. Flugaur is an active twitter user on the issue of conference realignment.I do not know how credible he is, although some on this board believe that he possesses some credibility. Mr. Flugaur apparently is a Minnesota Golden Gopher fan.

Well, there appears to be a Greg Flugaur who lives in Minnesota.
He also has previously lived in Stamford, CT.

It appears that Mr. Flugaur works for Cenveo.
I am not 100% sure that the twitter/social media expert is the same person. However, it is a fairly unique name and the geographic location narrows it down even further.

Perhaps Mr. Flugaur's employment by Mr. Burton and Mr. Flugaur's inside information regarding realignment are purely coincidental. But I thought it would be useful to the board for it to know of a possible connection.
