Settlement reached? Chip Brown Orangebloods.com Columnist Talk about it in Inside the 40 Acres After all kinds of drama that included the Big East making last-ditch efforts to lure Boise State and then Temple into the Big East for 2012-13, the Big East has agreed to accept West Virginia's nearly $20 million settlement and move on with seven teams for the 2012 football season, sources said. After a court hearing Thursday in Providence, R.I., the Big East was prepared to file suit against the Big 12 if West Virginia left the Big East without the Big East having an eighth football team for the 2012 season. But with a Friday morning deadline looming for the Big East to either accept West Virginia's offer to pay nearly $20 million in exit fees or go to trial, the Big East blinked and has agreed to accept the payout from West Virginia and move on with a seven-team football schedule for 2012, sources said. Over the past 48 hours, the Big East was trying to get Boise State and then Temple to enter into the conference for the 2012-13 school year instead of the 2013-14 school year, sources said. Without an eighth team for football, the Big East was threatening to sue the Big 12 for damages because of its TV contractual obligations, sources said. The sources said the Big East was even considering using some of the money being promised by West Virginia in exit fees as financial incentives to entice either Boise or Temple into the Big East one year early. But Big East officials decided Thursday night to simply take West Virginia's settlement offer of just under $20 million (to get out of a contractual obligation to wait 27 months to exit the Big East) and simply move on with seven schools (Cincinnati, Connecticut, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, South Florida and Syracuse). Big 12 sources said the 2012 Big 12 football schedule will be released Friday with West Virginia as a member of the conference. Orangebloods.com has been reporting for weeks that both West Virginia and TCU will play in Austin in 2012 - with TCU as Texas' Thanksgiving night opponent. Oklahoma is expected to play at West Virginia in 2012. TCU will also play at West Virginia, according to sources.

You spout off a bunch of idiotic stuff as fact (UVA and Va Tech moving together.....then required to move together, going to the Big XII, along with Clemson, etc.), and then when asked to proved any proof that your wild speculation is even on the table, deflect and start talking about MU being a football school and RGIII. You can't even keep focused on the topic at hand. Do some research, learn a little about football, and come back when you can form a complete sentence. Have a nice day. |

Contacted? I'm sure they have been. I was trying to figure out what that howling sound was. Turns out its the University of Virginia laughing about it.

Right here, sweetie.
Actually took a moment to check your most recent posts. Of your last 100 posts, dating back to January 22, 76 of them were in a MU thread. Good thing Missouri's getting lots of attention lately. Otherwise, what would you do with yourself? |

Nobody ever said they were. I don't think anyone even said they might.
