stating that Gt is BIG bound, alos called UMD and Rutgers before it happened. That does give him credibility.
And he also says that FSU will leave for the Big 12, announcing right after the ACC championship game.
And..
@Tim_Matty247: "Sources are indicating that the #B1G has approved #GT as its 15th member. Stay tuned... @CFravel247 @Clemson247"

If our idiot president would get off his a$$, we wouldn't be taking any wait-and-see approach, but already be laying the groundwork for a Big 12 move.

That's interesting and I'm not saying you're wrong, but I wonder why people feel the need to put insider knowledge out on Twitter.
If you're putting it out on a pay site like Rivals, I can understand that, but I don't see why you'd want to broadcast sensitive knowledge to the whole world.
IDK, twitter just seems like an ego trip to me. It's like the kid who has the nicest bike in the neighborhood and he makes sure to ride by all the other kids's houses to let them know how great his bike is.

I keep hearing GT is gone as well but that FSU and Clemson

still have a shot at the SEC. If that can happen I'm all for it. I'm still not sold on the BIG 12 idea yet but if GT does leave we don't have much of a choice I guess.

Its all about the money. People keep saying Clemson and FSU to SEC. Not gonna happen the SEC wants new TV markets. In the end Clemson may end up in the Big 12. If GT goes to the Big 10 then the flood gates maybe openning.

I'm not totally sold on TV markets in the SEC anymore

Here is why...
What TV markets are left? Sure, you have North Carolina which is a nice State to have if you want basketball. None of those schools bring anything to the table when it comes to football. Sure, at times they have been so so in football but not something I would consider year in and year out being a "Player". Furthermore, N.C. State vs Alabama or LSU is not a game that would attract viewers...why? It's NC State!. Now, on the flip side Alabama or LSU vs Clemson. That would be a match-up that draws people to watch outside the general viewing area.
IMO, the SEC has cornered the TV markets they need. Now I believe they will add more teams that have a "history" and a football first mentality. Outstanding grid-iron match-ups draw viewers, not N.C. State vs Georgia or Virgina vs Florida.

Spearmant you make a good point, and if the SEC model was like that of the Big 12's model, FSU and Clemson are no-brainer additions.
But the SEC is lookign to start up its own network. The have plenty of high profile marquee games already, and own most of the south as it is> What they are missing is North Carolina nad Virginia markets. With a combined 6 million TV sets in those two markets a 1$ per month, thats an additional 72 million dollars to the conference that FSU and Clemson do not add as South Carolina and Florida already provide those TV sets in those states.
Big 12 isnt looking to do a conference network per se (though Fox seems to be buying everyone but UT, OU and KU's Tier 3 rights at this point to make a de-facto Big 12 network) so for them to increase their contracts they need more marquee games.
Since the SEC's model isn't like the Big 12's, FSU and Clemson have literally no shot at the SEC.
You guys absolutely do fit in better there though, there is no doubt about that.
