There was a lot of chatter on the Louisville board until about 10 days ago. The board has been silent for the last week. I believe the OPs there are attending the ACC winter meetings. We have echelon among us!

Which way of phrasing this rumor is more likely to gain steam.
1. Texas is supposedly going to take the deal Notre Dame got with ACC.
Texas would play six ACC games per year but would also be guaranteed a Notre Dame game every year that would not count as one of the six. Texas would be guaranteed a yearly game against one of the Florida ACC schools that would count as one of the six ACC games. In addition as part of an ACC-PAC 12 alliance, Texas would be guaranteed one game against PAC 12 per year. So Texas would be regularly appearing in the biggest football recruiting states of Texas, California and Florida. The rest of Texas' schedule would be filled in with rival Oklahoma and Texas schools.
Finally, the ACC network, PAC 12 network and Longhorn Network would be packaged together or combined for coast to coast coverage.
or
2. It's a "done deal". Texas is just floating the Big XII-ACC alliance "smokescreen" to get their own conference's guard down. Texas knows a "Grant of Rights" will never hold up because it is "punitive" and the court case will have to be heard in a state of Texas court. The new Longhorn-PAC12-ACC network will be aired coast to coast and will produce tens of millions of dollars on "Tier 3" alone. The ACC's version of the "CIC" called the ACCIAC will start a price club for buying journals and getting billions of dollars in government grants. But those grants won't just come from the US government as the ACCIAC goes international and moves into Europe, Japan and China.
This will all be announced at the 60th Anniversary of the Founding of the ACC Ceremony on June 14th, 2013 at ACC Headquaters in Greensboro, NC.

Whatever you do, don't post a link to a press release or a credible web site.

But, by all means, quote Greg Swaim. He's got a 100% track record. And no matter what you say, you're bound to be quoting him... or the him that was tweeting at some point in history.

What a tool he is. You can get a more accurate prediction than Swaim from a Ouiji or dart board.

What did you think Swaim used, anyway?
