Sorry if it's been posted amid the flurry of conference stuff I went through on the list
today, but I don't think it has.

The NYTimes' excellent "The Quad" college sports blog looks at the numbers behind the
conference expansion game of musical chairs ...

I'm not sure I understand all the data :) ... but really shows the smart moves made by the
Big Ten and SEC in the recent realignments (and why Rutgers or Maryland wouldn't
necessarily be a good move for Jim Delaney ... though the numbers fail to take into
account the "stupid division names" X-factor).

Interesting read and the stat nerds like me on the list will love sifting through the data
and graphics!

GO CATS!!!
