Also, Tennessee would be dumb to hire Muschamp, because if UT wants him back in 3-4 yrs when Mack retires than adios Tennessee.

USCe aka South Carolina has been around alot longer than USCw aka Southern California.

Good grief....another SEC shill. Well done.

yeah...imagine an East coast school being older than a West coast school...cant imagine how that happened...other than the fact that settlers were on the EC about 100 years ahead of making it to the Pacific.

though i have no idea what that has to do with Lane kiffin nor USC nor recruiting violations of the worst kind.

Anybody wondering who will be their NFL team's franchise QB in 2019?

A lot of conference expansion rumor floating around. Things could get interesting after the basketball season.

Bryce's older brother is supposedly leaving Miami (I'm guessing K-State) so it will be interesting to see if Bryce decides to stay at Tennessee after Kiffin's departure.

Yeah that Texas to the Big 10 (11) rumor is really interesting. Geographically it is ridiculous, but those conferences were set up in the days of train travel, (more or less) so that part is a non-issue.

What i found interesting about it is the it would automatically add another 12 MIllion a year into the Texas coffers when they get their share of the TV deal.

Lots of rumors going on about the Pac 10 as well...2 more teams likely to be added and then divded into two divisions and a championship game like the SEC/Big 12 do it. May have something to do with the Texas possibility as well...as that would set it up in the Big 10 as well.

A lot of talk around here of Utah being one of the Pac 10 schools. Also some rumors of the Big 12 going to 14 teams just to keep those teams out of other conferences. I think we will see movement in the next couple of months.

Really the BCS should level the playing field and have all BCS conferences have twelve teams and a conference championship game.

Yeah I've heard Utah and Colorado as the potential schools to the PAC 10. As a fan of the league and more specifically the ducks, I'm kinda torn on the expansion issue. I mean on one hand it'll mean a more lucrative tv deal and more money for the schools, but on the other hand I like the 10 team format due to the fact everyone plays everyone at least once.

Hopefully they expand only if they can get some bigger name schools (Colorado, Texas, Utah, etc.) and don't if they have to settle for lesser schools (Hawaii, Nevada, UNLV, Colorado St, New Mexico).

The BCS or the NCAA really have zero say in the matter.

Each conference is it's own entity that governs itself and adds/removes members as it sees fit.
