"For instance, as soon as Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany mentioned the words “Sun Belt,’’ minds raced and conclusions were reached including in this space. The Big Ten is looking south. Who? Georgia Tech? Florida State? Texas? Vanderbilt?"

Yes, my mind raced too when I saw that blurb on the front page of the DMN...they want UNT for the Big Ten?!?

Then reality set in..No, probably not, it was just a reference to them perhaps looking "South".
