And Rutgers enters the fold.

Ok the Big 10's rejection of Missouri really looks puzzling now.  Leaving room for Rutgers?

I don't think anybody really liked missou.

Probably looking to expand into market areas that don't suck.

E:  The BTN gets on basic cable + gets more $$ per subscriber in their "home" areas, right?

I assume that that's what they're thinking, or perhaps better put, hoping.

They have the mighty Tuscaloosa, AL and Oxford, MS media markets already. They're set.

It didn't matter for the SEC.  They got into Texas.  They needed #14 right then, and the Big 12 was pretty destabilized already and Mizzou was pretty obviously looking to go anywhere.

E:  I'm not some "insider" type, but I wonder if they tried for VT or someone first to go with TAMU, were told no, then took Missouri.  There was a bit of a delay there, I believe.

Hey they might end up being the only conference with 12 teams and no weird pods or whatever when all this shit finally finishes, but still have a nice reserved playoff spot for the conf. champion.  That wouldn't be so bad.

Or, the other SEC schools realized that Vandy is improving, and took Missouri 'cause they needed a new doormat.

I predict FSU, Clemson, Miami, GT, BYU and Louisville to the Big 12!

Virginia Tech and NC State to the SEC!

Heh.  We should be so lucky.

BYU is going to come back to the MWC I think, as much I hate those bitches.  Hubris meant they thought they could go it alone, reality they are more out in the cold than ever.  I would think that if the Big East falls apart more then the MWC could see Boise (ick) and San Diego State back (losers) as well.

That, of course, means Wyoming will be free to jump to the Big 12 to continue the rivalry with Texas.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

:lol: Didn't look at it that way.  You might be on to something.

Yikes.  Way to take a dump all over the field, Horns.  That last throw by Case into an area with like six TCU players with ~1:20 left capped things off nicely.
