Thanksgiving Day Expansion Thoughts
This is a popular topic on the forums, so just a few more thoughts to kick around on Thanksgiving Day evening. This is a topic, along with a variety of others, being discussed on the SFN Forums. SFN wishes you a great Thanksgiving Weekend! Reportedly, Virginia Tech President Charles Steger told John Swofford the SEC […]
Future of the ACC?
Take a good look at that ACC logo and the logos of the schools surrounding it. It will likely be changing again soon, one way or another. Will the ACC even survive? A few weeks ago, news came out that the commissioners of the conferences making up the current BCS had agreed in principle to […]
Texas to ACC? FSU looks at options (Wednesday 8am Update)
Nice link about possible expansion moves posted by Six Pack on the SFN Forums. This column offers three possible scenarios as well as some additional insight into how it could play out (Statesman.com): A high-ranking Texas source said that the ACC has been in contact with Texas, but added that talks hadn’t progressed to a […]
The ACC should raid Big XII, not Big East
With sources reporting that Oklahoma and Texas (along with Oklahoma State and Texas Tech) are in discussions to soon turn the Pac-12 into the Pac-16, it looks like the Big XII will soon become extinct. It’s hard to believe that one of the two original superconferences will become irrelevant sooner than the ACC or Big […]
SEC Votes AGAINST Expansion (8pm Update)
Dennis Dodd offers up a little insight into what happened (CBSSports.com): Note to Aggies everywhere: Before you borrow daddy’s Caddy and rent a tux, make sure you have a prom date.

So go on over there and join the fun, and it’s likely you’ll even win a […]
Friday Afternoon Expansion Talk
Lots of (opinionated) discussion on the SFN Forums about the inevitable next round of college football expansion and realignment, and more precisely, how it will affect State. So go on over there and join the fun, and it’s likely you’ll even win a $100 Walmart gift card, or maybe one of the few remaining ipads. […]
Conference Expansion…again?
I wrote last November about the absurdity of the most recent series of conference re-alignments and expansion. Conference realignment and expansion is in no way a recent, or revolutionary, concept. College football over the decades has remained about as steady as the Hatteras shoreline. The trend of several small, regional conferences towards a few elite […]
Bearcats in the sights… and TOB isn’t too happy!
WRAL posted this story this morning about TOB’s concern regarding the scheduling of the game Thursday night. That’s when he sounded a little ticked off about the timing of the game. “This is close to impossible. For what we had to do to leave tonight. You know the ACC, I don’t know why they did […]
