New update from OrangeBloods

Given that MU might be left out of the Big 10 expansion and since Utah was extempted from this Big 12 talk...this could mean CU and Utah to the Pac-10. NU to the Big 10.

Congress could look hard at taxing college sports if we do go to the 4 Super Conference stuff.

Could this mean things are clearing up?
 
Congress needs to stay the **** out of sports. Including having had ever given them a tax exempt status.
 
And OrangeBloods (Surprise! another Texas leak!)


Baylor to Pac10 being met w/ resistance by Cal b/c of Baylor's religious ties.

Gee, who was it that said Cal-Berkeley would never accept ken starr led baylor.


 
Texas, er the B12, adds a combination of TCU, Houston, SMU, Rice, Louisville, Memphis to replace CU and NU and has the old SWC conference back in which they will call all the shots.

CU,MU,KU, Utah to the Pac bunch of MWC schools to the big12?

that would be ideal.

That would be too good to be true. If the B12 can't stay intact without NU, and CU and NU were to leave, what happens to the B12? If Utah and CU go P10, wouldn't that mean they are sticking at 12? Therefore, Texas would stay pat in a B12, less NU and CU, because no other conference could take them on along with their whole entourage of baggage.

Since that unlikely scenario would be the worst for UT, that is the one I'm pulling for:smile2:

I would actually love to see that, although I don't think KU and KjSU are legally allowed to separate. Talk about a purple albatross around KU's neck...
 
Take it FWIW...briefly had Chipper's afternoon radio show on and the "Sports Update" section (narrated by someone else other than Brown) said,

"The University of Colorado is expected to make major announcement later today that they have received and will accept an invitation from the Pac-10."

I do have to say it sounded recycled from yesterday, and it was prefaced with the famous "..from OrangeBloods.com..." so definitely take with a grain of salt.
 
What I would love is for CU to go to the Pac with whoever. Big12 and MWC merge, but MWC must cut teams, so CSU is cut loose. Then Nebraska to Big 10 falls thru at the last minute and Nebraska is left out in the cold. CSU and kNU form the 'we suck' conference.
 
And MU is looking like they are getting the shaft from the Big 10

And to complicate matters for Missouri, the Tigers appear to be falling down the list of priorities for the Big Ten.

An athletic director with knowledge of the Big Ten said "Missouri appears to be losing favor with the Big Ten."

Joe Schad of ESPN reported Wednesday that the Big Ten list of interest for expansion goes like this: 1) Notre Dame 2) Nebraska 3) Rutgers and/or Maryland.
 
Kinda sucks for Missouri. I think they would have made a very nice fit in the B10. If they were to ever get their act together, they'd be a very powerful program. Maybe the B10 figures it already has the St Louis market, and the KC market will be delivered by Nebbish. Strange things are afoot in the B10.
 
Why is the Big 10 interested in Maryland? I don't get that one.

As someone who lived in the DC area and went to Maryland football games...Maryland in the Big 10 is doable since they are an AAU school and the Big 10 could use Maryland's proxmity to DC to do the political dirty work for the conference.
 
NU to the Big 10 is now on Sporting News and more major sports sites will pick it up shortly.

I think there is enough stuff out there to know for a fact that NU loaded up the tractor and left for the Big 10. Unemployed construction workers in eastern Nebraska are partying tonight.

DC market probably.

Makes sense, but I figured that UVA was probably about as popular in the DC area as Maryland is. I just looked at a map and didn't realize the College Park was so close to the DC area, it's actually in the metro area.

There seemed to be more VT fans than UVA ones in the DC area
 
Really? That surprises me because I kind of viewed DC as more of a UVA type of city. There's alot of VT fans around here too but hardly any UVA fans.

The defense contract industry is crawling with VT guys in my observation.
