Horned Frogs The ACC went and sniped Syracuse and Pittsburgh from the Big East.
This did two things:
1. It served notice to the entire nation that if a four super-conference new world order is coming, the ACC is sticking around. For one, it makes them a phenomenal basketball conference. It also puts them at 14 teams, which is more than anyone. Texas to the ACC doesn't look so shabby anymore.
2. It freaks the fuck out of TCU. The Frogs were supposed to join the Big East next year. Now ... well, if you don't think they have their feelers out to other conferences, including the SEC and ACC, you are crazy. The Big East didn't have a lot going for it anyway. Adding TCU was a bit of a coup for them. Who knows if that conference will exist in a year.

On Sunday, as the NFL reared its ugly head, college football grabbed some headlines as it was reported that Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech are seriously possibly almost looking at a move to the Pac 10 (12).
Well. No shit. But I guess this was to inform us that not only are Texas and OU looking elsewhere, but that Oklahoma State and Tech were latched aboard.
For one, it's funny to me watching Tech hitch their wagon to Texas like a kid brother hounding the older brother down the sidewalk.
The obstacle for Texas' future is its dedication to the Longhorn Network. According to reports, the Pac 10 (12) will take in the Longhorn Network under its conference umbrella.
Of course, it probably won't be the "Longhorn Network" any longer, it'll include Texas Tech games and Pac 10 (12) programming. Although, Texas will still get paid. Which is all that matters.
How does Dan Beebe have a job again? What does he need to do to get fired?
