Yeah, all of our flunkies are ending up at either aTm or Kansas.

Michael_Malice · May 2012

I heard Charlie Weis getting them Kansas boys ready out there.

greenwood1921 · May 2012

Meh. Kansas got a loooooong way to go. No team in the XII should be slept on, but they got so many transfers and players mad about ol' boy gettin' fired - I don't really see them gettin more 5 or 6 wins.

Clempson (Pickens County Tech) and FSU To The Big 12?

Add a pair of names to the conference movement discussion, and they are biggies: Florida State and Clemson. Right now, we’re at a rumor stage…and that’s at best. But if there’s fire to this smoke, it’s a veritable inferno.

Michael_Malice · May 2012

Yeah I'm interested to see what Charlie can do out there where Turner failed. They got rid of Turner Gill too soon if you ask me. I think a couple of more seasons and he would have had them on the right track. or....

He was overrated coming out of Buffalo. Just the "sexy" young black coach.

greenwood1921 · May 2012

Meh, I heard Florida state was thinking about it, but neither makes sense to me. Travel time to away games, giving up all their rivalries, etc. Just seems silly.

Michael_Malice · May 2012

@greenwood1921

Agreed but nowadays most of these damn conferences don't make sense geographically anyway. Or atleast it's getting to that point. FSU should have joined the SEC when they had the chance but that shunned.

I would hope they wouldn't go, Clemson either

greenwood1921 · May 2012

Florida State did what all these schools are trying to do now -- 10 years ago.

Everybody thought the ACC was going to be a "super conference" when Miami and V-tech was added.

I'm pretty sure we would get moved to the Big XII north if they did come. I honestly don't give a shit.

OU makes the conference we're in - not the other way around. So it's whatever. I was cool with the Pac-12 and SEC rumors last year.

Only I thing I DON'T want is to be independent. That shit is retarded.

Boss Hogg Hustle · May 2012

Florida state to the Big 12? Does.not.compute

Michael_Malice · May 2012

Here is an argument for Free Shoes U to move to the Big 12. Makes some good points I guess.

There seems to be a growing belief among Seminole Nation that it’s time to leave the ACC for another conference. Yesterday, it was announced that FSU had a $2.4 million shortfall on its 2012-2013 athletic budget. This is embarrassing and only further shows why FSU needs to leave the ACC.

greenwood1921 · May 2012

I know their basketball program wants out of the ACC because they cater too much to UNC and Duke (basically how the Big XII caters to OU and texass in football.)

But it still doesn't make sense for them to come to the big XII.

Now what would be interesting is if Louisville, FSU, CLEMSON, and maybe a UCF joined the big XII which would put 5 Big XII in the southeast (those teams plus West Virginia) and then re-do the divisions with 14 or 16 teams.

That would make a gang of sense.

Michael_Malice · May 2012

@greenwood1921 What about this?

West Division: Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech, Iowa State

East: FSU, Clemson, West Virginia, Kansas State, Kansas, Louisville, UCF

Michael_Malice · May 2012

Nm

Michael_Malice · May 2012

These assTomouth clowns is gay.

Michael_Malice · May 2012

In other news around this way.

Clempson WR Sammy Watkins busted with them funny Cigerettes and some pills. Not to worry though. If the Clempson PD is anything like him the charges will be dropped.

Spurrier announces the games played between South Carolina and Mizzou will be known as "The Battle Of Columbia". Will include a nifty trophy.

Yeah, that look about right. But one of those texas teams should be in the east. Maybe TCU and/or Tech.

The chance to recruit more in Texas would be a good way to lure FSU, Clemson and Louisville. But why bother if none of the texas teams are in your division?

Hell, put texass in the east and leave the RRR as-is. Shit, I know texass is tired of never winning their division anyway, lmao.

Michael_Malice · May 2012

Good point about the Texas team to the east. I just took what that guy said in the article and added UCF. Lol @ Texas. I'm bout to watch some Longhorn Network in their honor.

the NCAA about to put the pimp slap to CFB and CBB because thats mostly what this affects

Academic change is coming to college sports. And if you ask me, it's the good kind of change.

Starting in 2016, the toughest initial-eligibility requirements ever for student-athletes will be hitting a college campus near you, ESPN's Mitch Sherman writes. Under the 2016 mandate, incoming freshmen will have to graduate from high school with 16 core classes passed, 10 of which must be completed by the start of their senior year. They must pass those core classes within four years and their minimum GPA must by 2.3.

The current mandate requires incoming freshmen to pass the 16 core classes, but 10 don't have to be completed before their senior year and the 16 don't have to be finished within four years. The minimum GPA is also 2.0 matched with an ACT or SAT score on a sliding scale.

A survey conducted by the NCAA indicated that approximately 40 percent of all freshmen football players that enrolled at Division I schools last fall would have failed to meet the 2016 requirements. Under the new rule, that 40 percent would receive an academic redshirt, which means those players would still receive their scholarships and could practice with their teams, but they wouldn't be able to play in games during the season.

Academic redshirt players wouldn't lose a year of eligibility.

Some might think that this new rule could be asking too much from high schools and it could put a limit on recruiting for college coaches, but that's just silly. This rule is being put in place to make sure that student-athletes are better prepared academically for college. Asking kids to hit the books harder and study a little longer is far from a crime and chances are the higher standards will encourage schools to take the academic side of high school sports life more seriously.

This isn't the first time we've heard of upping the academic requirements for incoming student-athletes. At last summer's SEC media days, SEC commissioner Mike Slive discussed increasing the GPA requirements for incoming freshmen from 2.0 to 2.5 in 16 core classes and the restoration of partial qualifiers. Like the new mandate, athletes who meet the old criteria but fall short of the new standards would keep their scholarships and practice, but couldn't play during their first year. Partial qualifiers lose a year of eligibility.

Would this require students and schools to work harder? Absolutely. Is it worth it? Absolutely, because it really isn't too much to ask of anyone involved. It's merely helping the educational process.

There are too many instances of players arriving on campus unprepared for the academic side of college athletics. Although football might be the first reason someone is at a university, we often forget that these individuals are students first, even though that part of "student-athlete" gets lost more and more these days.

This obviously won't come without some struggle on the part of many aspiring high school athletes, but it's certainly worth the fight.
