Summer Fever: Expansion Style

Setting the dominoes in place

As many of you know, the summer of 2010 was a monumental one for college football. No team was safe in the expansion move, as virtually every team was a potential move. Notre Dame, Texas, Nebraska, Missouri, Pitt, TCU, Boise State, and more were the favorites to be moving. Nebraska moved to the Big Ten, while TCU headed to the Big East, and BSU fell into place in the Mountain West. There were more moves, such as Colorado to the Pac 10, as well as Utah joining the same conference.

There was also fear for every team, as we weren't sure whether or not the traditional college landscape would collapse, and we would move to 2 Super conferences with 16 or more teams. Surprisingly, the SEC didn't budge. Now, with that, it brings us to today's news.

According to Inside Tide, Texas A&M could be on the move to the SEC. They meet with the board of regents on Thursday of this week to discuss the move to the SEC.

My hope is that this doesn't break down the Big 12, because if Texas leaves, then the conference will cease to exist, along with the fact that the Pac 10, SEC, and Big Ten would most certainly end up making up new super conferences, just as it was last year.

With this move, if it happens, it could shake up the landscape just as Nebraska did with the Big Ten. Now the dominoes are in place once again to send the college football world spinning. Buckle up, is the only advice I can truly give you.
