hearing rumors FSU & Clem to SEC, PAC raiding Big 12, big 4 Conferences forming

I am hearing rumors. I do not have any links, I am sorry. This is coming from some friends of mine, some have connections, so do not. But is anyone hearing this also? From what I have seen, this website breaks news faster then almost anyone, so I come to ask...
Ok, here is what I am hearing. That FSU and Clemson are ticked at the new ACC deal. You think they got a good deal? They really did not, compared to the PAC and what SEC will get down the road. ESPN would own their lower tier media rights, where as the PAC owns everything in house, own network, many more millions will come in future on top of our top negotiated deal we got with lower tier media rights; not to mention we are launching PAC-12 TV into Asia in the very near future. We have 20mill per school now, but with the new network and other activities planned we might be closer to 30mill per school down the road. The SEC will be super rich too when they get their new deal.
Those 2 schools do not want to be stuck in a long term Contract with the ACC that seems good now, but compared to what others are getting will be small actually. And I hear the SEC wants them. Now, that will touch off a whole new round of Conference shifts. The Big East is virtually already dead as the best of those teams have left them to ACC or Big 12 or such. But if those 2 left, the ACC would again raid the Big East. And that will make the Big East even weaker then they pathetically already are now. And well, the SEC would have 16 teams.
And well, that is the PAC's sweat spot of where they want to end up eventually anyways, at 16 teams. I hear we will again try to raid the Big 12 as a result. We could of had Oklahoma ect last time, but we turned them down. I am hearing that all the big boys know the future is 4 super power Conferences at 16 teams each. That such a course is unavoidable and all know this. And that is why they only want to stay at a 4 team playoff, to keep everyone not them out, more money ect for them. So in the end it would be a huge SEC, PAC, ACC and Big Ten and the PAC and Big Ten would raid the Big 12's best teams...
Anyone hearing this? Personally I think it sucks if true and hope all this does not happen.

This is the long term inevitability, IMO. I was thinking more 6 to 7 years out, however.

Well, are there any FSU or Clemson fans on here that might know something?

I did not know. At least I was honest in admitting it is some rumors. It's not like I am starting rumors to lie and deceive. No, rather I am just searching for the Truth. And I think there is a major difference between what I am doing by simply asking, and what others have done in purposefully lying, creating rumors ect...But If any Admin wants to kill this thread, then kill it, I could care less. I just wanted to see if anyone besides me was hearing this stuff and if I could get some confirmations ect... if so...And find out what is the full Truth, whatever the case...

Are all Oregon Duck fans stupid? I heard rumors that this was true, so maybe we should have a thread on that.

Didn't UF, USC, UK and UGA make a pact to not let in Clemson, FSU, GT and Louisville?

The PAC-12 has tried twice to get OU and t.u. and it hasn't succeeded either time for whatever reason. If they try again then Larry Scott is certifiably insane (doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting different results).

This is just friggin' stupid. No way schools leave a historically stable conference with top tier academic institutions to join tu's fiefdom.

Not insane when there's nothing to lose

I know, I thought so too. That is why this one came to me out in left field...

Why don't you quote that entire section? Rumors pertaining to LSU players, coaches, etc., are of concern there, not rumors of conference realignment.

No, you got that VERY wrong! Texas, at the last second pulled a fast one on us. We already had OU if we wanted them the first time. But the key was Texas, and they screwed us. They told us yes, only to back out at last second. And then the 2nd time, we said screw Texas, we will take OU, Okie lite, Texas Tech and I can't remember who the other one was. And all of those said yes. OU was very pissed at Texas then. But Scott wanted it, but when he took it to our Presidents to Ratify it, they voted no. So we turned down OU ect... and Texas may, or may not of come if OU went to us, but they might have.... But we had them in the bag for sure, excluding Texas for sure, if we wanted them last...

You are just a stupid alter. Everyone has been talking about you on the help board complaining about how you crash all threads. As if I care what you think...
