Here's a good summary of the conference stances on the next round of BCS talks. I found the below quote to be pretty frustrating:

"But sources close to the BCS conversations say it's clear that the big five leagues -- ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC -- no longer consider the Big East part of their group. The Big East lost West Virginia and TCU to the Big 12 this year, and Pittsburgh and Syracuse are scheduled to leave for the ACC in 2014. (Pitt has sued to leave in 2013.)"

The acc is not considered a "big league" outside of anyone in the acc

What an ego the acc has

When Fsu and Clemson leave, all they'll have is vt, mediocre unc/nc state/gt/bc, and a decimated Miami from NCAA disciplines

Totally agree.

V-tech, Georgia tech and Miami all want to leave the ACC too. My bet is that the raiding of the ACC will happen next and render ACC football obsolete. Eff-them!

Now you are making sense. I agree. When you aren't blindly defending sju, you are a very insightful poster
 
CBS reported today that there is a rift between the Big10/ PAC12 and the SEC/Big12. The SEC/Big12 want the BEST 4 teams in the playoff, the Big10/PAC12 want their conference champs as 2 of the 4 teams.

What gets me is there are supposedly 12 votes, the 11 FBS Conference Commissioners and Notre Dame. Seems to me 7 votes in favor are needed. Why the other 8 votes would allow the PAC12, Big10, Big12, and SEC to leave them out is beyond my reasoning.

It's also tiring the treatment that Notre Dame gets. I know the tradition and history, but the landscape has changed and their loner status doesn't always have to be rewarded. At this rate, Congress is going to grant Notre Dame it's own set of electoral votes for the presidential election.
 
Bearcat is right. Nd hasn't been relevant in years and yet they go around calling the shots. I don't know why every conference wants them

Goes to show that the Big East, ACC and others are not even on the table amongst the football conferences. All of that work and defections and only WVU won out...lol.

I think well see some acc teams start to jump ship soon

Where they going to jump to? We see now that there are only 4 conferences that consider themselves to play big time football. ACC is not one of them. If there is more expansion, every ACC school is going to be begging to be part of the SEC, Big 12, Big 10 or PAC 12. They might invite a few more, but it won't be Big East schools. I can't see the ACC raiding us any more for football becaus it has already been declared that ACC football doesn't matter amongst the big 4 conferences.

Big 12 wants at least 12 for a championship game. That should concern everyone in the big east because ul, uconn, rutgers would be immediate candidates for acc
 
Hearing Boise is close to backing out from the Big East and they haven't yet officially withdrawn from MWC. Is this true?
 
A few other tweets I found interesting:

Brandon Helwig ‏@UCFSports
Though I would've been shocked had Boise stayed in the MWC, this is great news for the Big East. I'd assume focus now shifts to BYU for #14

Brandon Helwig ‏@UCFSports
A lot of talk about "power" conferences lately. Big East considered on the fringe for now, but BYU would push league over the top.

We could hear about future Big East division alignments sometime later this month. East/West or non-geographical model possible.
