[NU Sports] Things are moving fast again ...

... in the conference shuffle game. Pitt/'Cuse accepted by ACC and UConn lobbying.

The Big Least (better get in those shots while I can) is now in a race with the Big XII to see who crumbles first.

Smart pre-emptory move by the ACC to avoid being the one without a chair out east and survive any SEC raids.

The ball now is back in Texas' court. They seem dead set against the SEC. The ACC is making overtures, but that's a stretch. The Big Ten could still be in the game if the Big East's shakeup knocks Notre Dame loose and they want to come into the "league of legends" that would then include essentially every historic college football power except Alabama or USC. But the Pac 12 still probably has the inside track.

Oklahoma/OSU also seem to be one to watch ... if Texas keeps dancing around, they may decide that it's best to make a decision before the Big XII crumbles completely and jump to the SEC or Pac 12.

I think the Big Ten still needs to stand pat for now unless those Horns or Irish come calling. You gotta think West Virginia and the rest of the Big East and TCU are scrambling right now ... and if they lose their home league for other sports, Notre Dame may even have to take notice.

Superconferences, here we come!
Now if the B(C)S could only topple so quickly!

GO CATS!!!
