PF knows more than he is letting on right now. Commissioner Slive and his wife are personal friends of PF and Linda.

This will be a 3 ring circus for at least 3 weeks.

PF is very well connected.

Here's a story from Cecil Hurt on this:


It was no surprise the august Dr. Bernard Machen, president of the University of Florida, came out of a Sunday morning session with the other CEO's of Southeastern Conference schools and issued a statement composed in equal parts of hefty words and elusive meaning.

I liked that, thanks.

Big East commish wants to meet with peers in Big 12 and ACC

Big East Commissioner John Marinatto says he has been in constant contact with Dan Beebe of the Big 12 and John Swofford of the Atlantic Coast Conference in recent days and has suggested the three meet to discuss conference realignment.

[SUPERCOACH]

He is scrambling to try and form an alliance with the left overs once the SEC, Big Ten, and PAC-12 are finished taking all of the decent teams.  Or maybe strike first and form a super duper conference to entice the decent teams to stay put.

A super duper conference trumpts a mere super conference I suppose. 

[Coach Hank Crisp]

Is a super duper conference the same as a big-o conference?

[SUPERCOACH]

I guess it depends on who is in it.  The Big East contributes nothing.  The ACC... maybe 4 decent teams.  The Big 12 minus 3... 2, maybe 3.  So it would be about 6 or 7 good teams, and 20 or 30 little sisters.  But if they wait too long, they will be left with ONLY the 20 or 30 little sisters.

I think this whole process is about to speed up tremendously.  Hopefully the SEC has already been talking to different schools through the back channel so that we have a head start.  I can't believe any legitimate school would join the little sisters and walk away from the possibility of joining the SEC.

I still think the schools not talking are the ones that are the loudest. I think Clemson and Texas Tech will be among the movers. RTR!

I agree that the Big East contributes nothing. UCONN supporters did not buy their allotment of tickets or hotel rooms at Fiesta Bowl. TCU is probably regretting getting in that conference.

[pmull]

SC, when we add teams will we stay the SEC or will we become the SESDC? I really think the super duper adds a lot to the name.
