Not dead yet! In fact, may be about to pull a Lazarus. All nine are meeting this a.m. to sign the grant of rights! If that happens, first of all, that would be the most unexpected snatching of victory from the asshole of defeat in the whole history of the earth; second, it would be the first, and an utterly humiliating, defeat for Brett Yormark; third, the PAC could then swap SDSU (pay the Mountain $34M Adela, you brain-dead cretin) or Smoo for Colorado and be none the worse off; fourth, the B.Y. pirate ship would abruptly turn east to Connecticut; fifth, it would stay a reluctant anyway B1G from a rescue-raid of Washington and Oregon; sixth, it would freeze hot-blooded Chief Osceola in cold, stoic silence.
In all, it would make a prophet of George Kliavkoff, who predicted that the conference realignment carousal would stop with his media deal.
