Jim Delaney apparently debunked any rumors that offers have been made...saying nothing has been done...it looks like this will more than likely be the case since Slive pretty much said the SEC would follow suit if the Big 10 made a big move, which it looks like they will...I also read where it would be 12-18 months before any realignment happend (as far as any teams moving to the Big 10 goes)...I see the football landscape as we know it completely changing within 5 years...It will suck but it is going to happen...IMO...

I do not see Texas going to the SEC I see the Pac-10 pushing hard for them, they fit in there.

OU will be on the market and OSU if the Big-12 screws this and goes after SMU and other Texas based schools. The Big-12 is already screwed itself very far south alienating the Northern portion of the Big-12. They'd be smart to look west, the Big-12, to find new schools if they want to keep the rest of the conference together.

Going to be real interesting to see how this plays out... not everyone can get the lion's share of teh money and not every one of the megaconferences would really make the kind of money the Big 10 and SEC do at present IMO

If there are some 16 team conferences that's going to be pretty odd... functionally that's pretty much two separate 8 team conferences with a postseason playoff game
