In KC to talk with KU/K-state/Mizzou? Centrally located places are normally a key indication of what is going on here.

Is the Pac-10 on a all out mission to get everyone but Iowa State?

No I think they are only talking to KU.

 

[LindenCy]

If the Pac 10 takes KU, it definitely puts a crimp in the Big East run.

 

[everyyard]

Well, can we actually hope the SEC takes Mizzou and ND won't join the big10 but the big10 wants 16 too and throws us a lifeline. I don't think so but we really need a miracle if KU goes Pac10.

Pac ** commish's plane is headed to Kansas City tonight.

In all fairness, it was in Salt Lake City on Friday as well.

 

[Lastplace]

All flights today with that plane have changed end locations (with the exception of Lubbock) near the end of the flight. I'd expect to see it land in Lawrence.

I noticed the same thing. It will end in Lawrence and lets hope Pollard has something figured out at this point.

If KU is on the table for the pac-10, we really have to hope texas picks the new tv contract with the big 12, as the big east option is probably dead, or at least a lot less attractive (you could always invite UCF or ECU to round out the 12)

What if it diverts for Ames?

i don't think so. It sounds like the Big East wants to expand with or without KU.

The story is VERY carefully worded.

What was once unthinkable has, apparently, come to pass. Texas A&M and the University of Texas, barring the unforeseen or political activity, will be heading their separate ways in 2011. The Aggies will be the newest member of the Southeastern Conference.

Sounds good to me! Although I would love to keep KU/KSU/MU and us together.

 

[clonedude]

This is not a good turn of events, correct?

Why wouldn't A&M at least listen to what Beebe has to offer tomorrow?

 

[Arkansas Cyclone]

So if true, that puts the SEC at 13. Who else are they gonna take?

aTm could very well head to the SEC, but something doesn't smell quite right, because you would assume that they would.

Of course, very little of this has made sense.

That is what is weird. Logically, everything doesn't seem to fit.

Why not? A&M has wanted to go to the SEC for a VERY long time.

Throwing schools out that make sense. OU, Clemson, FSU, GT, and VT.

I know. Texas politics are going to come into play on this one.

Like I said, they may very well go, but this may just be a case of a Rivals writer chasing hits on info that isn't 100% yet. Really just a gut feeling. Might just be indigestion too.

 

[cyclones500]

So if true, that puts the SEC at 13. Who else are they gonna take?

My guesses:
Georgia Tech
Virginia
Virginia Tech

Next tier of possibilities:
Clemson
Florida State

Big reach:
Louisville (but that gives Kentucky a "twin")

And I really loved my visit to College Station last year. aTm has now broken my heart.
