Okay thanks only reason I asked for years there were rumors that Morehouse College would finally make the move to Division 1 and join the SWAC.I figured that they finally made that move.

No way Louisville gets in the Big XII. They add nothing to the conference, monetarily. That's still the name of the game here.

They were all but in until WVU swooped in. Then it seemed like they were in again until BYU wouldn't budge on anything. Then all the FSU, Clemson, ND to the Big 12 rumors started so the Big 12 is full of themselves and probably won't settle for anything less than an ACC school, which won't come.
I'm sure Louisville could bring something. If Pitt and Cuse added 4 mill more per school and 2 more mouths. Louisville could add something. I think they're the most profitable basketball team in the NCAA. I read it on the csn board or something. However it wasn't enough for me to put them as a future member of the B12, so you're rambling about a rumor. You should ramble about the FSU/Clemson to the B12 too, that's less likely to happen.

Sounds like ND to the B12 may happen sooner rather than later....in all non-football sports
http://texas.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1377426
Two sources in the Big 12 said Wednesday the possibility of Notre Dame moving its Olympic sports out of the Big East and into the Big 12 is becoming more and more likely.
Speculation is growing among those sources that an announcement could come from South Bend before the end of the summer.
As part of such a move, Notre Dame, which has a contract with NBC to televise its home football games through the 2015 season, would agree to play up to six football games against Big 12 competition (but most likely three or so to start with), sources tell Orangebloods.com.
Notre Dame would maintain its independence in football ... for now. If the Irish ever felt compelled to join a conference in football, the Big 12 would be ready and waiting for them. The trusted relationship between Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick can not be underestimated if such a move transpires.
Notre Dame's explanation to the Big East would be that the Big East is no longer the conference the Irish joined as a non-football member back in 1995, the sources said. Since the Irish joined, the Big East has seen Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College leave with Syracuse and Pittsburgh planning to join the ACC in two years.
Incoming Big East members include Central Florida, San Diego State, SMU, Houston and Navy.
One of ND's biggest attractions to the Big 12 is the ability to have its own Tier 3 television network, along the lines of Texas' Longhorn Network. Tier 3 inventory is whatever is left after the TV partners with Tier 1 (ABC/ESPN in the Big 12) and Tier 2 (Fox in the Big 12) rights select the football and basketball games they want to air.
Tier 3 inventory typically consists of 1 or 2 football games (although DeLoss Dodds has told reporters LHN could air three Texas football games in 2012) and less than a dozen basketball games as well as Olympic sports.
Sources in the Big 12 told Orangebloods.com during the league meetings that Notre Dame as a non-football member is the only expansion target that would receive universal approval from the league.
While sources say Texas and Oklahoma favor the Big 12 as a 10-team league for now, there are some in the Big 12 who think a move by Notre Dame - even just its Olympic sports - into the Big 12, could cause a frenzy of interest from football powers in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Orangebloods.com reported last month that Florida State, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Miami and Georgia Tech all had efforts made on their behalf to gauge the interest of the Big 12 in expanding. The Big 12 indicated at its conference meetings in Kansas City in late May that it was happy at 10.
And while that was the sentiment then, a potential move by Notre Dame to affiliate with the Big 12, could cause more discussion and possibly a rethinking of the league's current position about bringing in new members.
Stay tuned.

They were talking about you guys asking to get in the Big South or AEC if any schools leave for the SoCon and/or CAA. NEC also came up, fb only and/or all sports.
What do you hear? Other schools? DSU, Hampton, and ...?

Alabama State
With their new stadium about to open soon and their chatter of moving up to FBS one day (lip service), there has been legit talk of them looking to switch conferences to be able to compete in the FCS playoffs.

they aren't going anywhere, they value the Turkey Day classic. There's a chance Tuskegee will pull out, but they'll try to replace them rather than stop the tradition.That would kill an FCS conference change. I haven't seen any of that on the SWACpage. As far as their stadium, it opens this year don't know how well they'll fill it.

Idaho to the Big Sky and Boise St. to the Big West. I hope AFA stands by their plan of staying in the MWC that way Fresno can go to the BE and BW.

The Idaho AD and president are asking the Board to allow Idaho to move all its olympic sports to the Big Sky, leaving football as an independent. The Board meets tomorrow and will likely agree. Idaho is hoping that if they can hang in there for a couple years an opening will come up in one of the FBS conferences. Good luck to them; scheduling won't be easy.

Are you speculating here, FSA? I've heard NOTHING about Boise welching on the Big East to go to the Big West. The BWC is already reeling over the loss of UOP, though that is mitigated by the arrivals of San Diego State and Hawai'i. SD would have better info than either of us, though. He knows EVERYTHING (or at least everything worth knowing in a sports context).
