    Are you hearing UConn and RU to the ACC? There were some rumours that ND/Texas were moving to the ACC, but now it seems as if Texas is going west to the Pac12.

    I don't think the WVA to SEC stuff is even close to a done deal.
    I tend to agree with this guy:

    WVA to SEC Rumors

    ACC just upped the ante to leave the conference, so I don't think any of the ACC schools are leaving, even Clemson the most talked about team to leave the ACC.

    And give me a break, the SEC is interested in Kansas? Yeah I'm not buying that, I'm not even buying Mizzu.

    My source on WVU and the SEC is a very well connected friend and attorney who seems pretty certain about it..

    The actual application to the SEC was filed yesterday but talks have been in progress for a lengthy period of time.

    We'll see.

    I'm reading that ND is now seriously contemplating a future in the B10 or ACC. For recruiting purposes many think the ACC makes more sense.

    I don't doubt that WVA applied, I just doubt that the SEC is in a hurry to decide on who the 14th - 16th will be.
    They have probably had many apps lately.

    The ACC exit fee is only 7 mil more than previous.
    That isn't enough to stop raiding from the SEC if it comes down to it...
