Breaking news by "The Althetic" huh?

[DentonLurker]

Seems legit

[Ross Hodgeson]

Well here we go again ugh

@Harry can someone delete this? Its a parody account.

I mean, that's a good move for both parties. They've got 10 solid G5 names. Its' very weird to see the Pac have a team in Tampa, but its weird to see the ACC have teams in the Bay Area of California.

The AAC can backfill pretty easily. Get Texas State, ULL, MUTS, and Georgia State and you've basically replaced these four TV markets fairly easily.

Can you imagine WSU and OSU basketball going to the UTSA 2A high school gym after they have been playing at USC, and past Pac facilities?

[MeanMag]

If anyone really wants to know what the real Athletic is reporting, it's that the PAC12 is after Tulane and Memphis.

Others the PAC 12 are looking into are UTSA, North Texas, Texas State and South Florida.

 

Current as of Wednesday. 9/18.

I just don’t see Texas State, Louisiana, Middle and Georgia State as “apples to apples” equals to Memphis, South Fla, Tulane and utsa.  Maybe this is a hoax.

[LongJim]

That's hilarious...

[JT Hammons]

Damn we got left behind again!  Where do we end up now?  Back to the Belch?

Well I guess we have to hope now that we can find adequate replacements but this is certainly a difficult pill to swallow.

We are going to the SEC, it was reported by the Althetic.

The funniest/saddest part of this was that it fooled our own Brett Vito too.

[Mean Green 93-98]

Glad we have a few folks here with enough brain cells to realize this is fake.

At least for now. 

[MeanGreen22]

Guys, if you haven't figured out, this is a fake Athletic twitter account. Thought that was obvious based on the intentional misspelling of the thread title.

It's not an unbelievable scenario. It may very well be what actually happens, just not yet done.

[greenjoe]

Althetic ?

For sure, but there are still too many people who fall for any realignment buzz they hear on Twitter just because the messenger paid for a check mark.

I really can’t fault them too much.  I mean getting a speculative sports story wrong is understandable in today’s political climate with our leaders courting conspiracy theory nuts into the main stream using them to get votes.  
 

But is also a very sad commentary on the state of College Sports when South Florida moving to the Pacific Coast Conference for money at the expense of everything else make sense based on similar recent conference re-alignment.

LMAO. Vito got fooled earlier this week with a fake Pete Thamel account saying Memphis was headed to the PAC. I'm glad our local journalist takes time to double check breaking news before passing it along. 

[MeanMag]

The internet and journalism is quite a jungle.

[Side.Show.Joe]

What is the board's opinion about where North Texas stands in this round? Just wondering what y'all are thinking.

"Get Texas State, ULL, MUTS, and Georgia State"

Sounds like a CUSA re-do.  I'll pass.
