not sure why Louisville would leave for the Big 12, especially if the Big east is able to pick up these six teams being mentioned.

read somewhere that it could be an announcement on a contract extension for Charlie Strong...

$15+ million in the Big12 per team
$3 million in the BigEast per team (although it will increase a little in 2013 when they renegotiate, depending on what teams they get)
While the Big12 is certainly volatile, it still has a TV deal that is competitive with the ACC....ACC/Big12 TV deals being a notch below the Big10/SEC/Pac12
BigEast TV $$ money sucks.

Being attached to the tit of tu and Sooner is supposedly awesome for these teams.
Granted, Missouri, OU, Oklahoma State and KU WITHOUT A DOUBT had the best decade in the history of their programs because the major conference in the Lone Star State was the Big XII, and they were suddenly apart of that. As far of as the consolidation of the powers within Texas, Tech probably had their best decade as well. Heisman trophy winners stopped going to Texas's largest commuter college for god's sake when there were less Texas options to choose from.
This being said, the equation is about to change because of the SEC. You know how people love to talk about how Stoops has only lost one conference game in 12 years in Norman? That was thanks to Les Miles developing a Houston recruiting pipeline via the Woods family. That pipeline is about to disappear. East Texas and Houston is about to be SEC country. Missouri will still benefit from Texas recruiting if they are in the West. It will be a real shame if they aren't, and it looks like it is going to be that way, but the thinking holds true imo.
I view the further consolidation of talent and power that has been happening for the last 100 years, and Louisville is too little too late.

Well, Louisville will be a natural rival for Tceh.

Louisville's entire recruiting strategy will be thrown out the window with this move. They get a lot of guys from Florida that slip through the cracks of the big boys. All of Strong's contacts are in the SEC and more specifically Florida. How do they plan to convince those guys to go play in Lawrence or Manhattan, Kansas? Also Pitino is a Big East guy and IMO he will retire before this move is made if they have to wait 27 months to leave the Big East.

Louisville can't even decide which pizza it prefers. Papa John's Stadium and the YUM! Center (Pizza Hut). I expect to see their baseball team playing at Domino's Field any day now.

yea the sportscaster heard their was going to be an announcement later today and ran with the story that it was going to be inolving the big 12. it was about strong the whole time. lame.

So was it losing to FIU and Marshall or barely beating a Kentucky team that's one of the worst teams in FBS that led them to make this decision? Or maybe it was the average attendance of about 30k.
