It doesn't matter... The new Big 12 will collapse sooner or later when everyone gets tired of bowing to Texas' commands and those SEC invites will still be there...
Oklahoma can go wherever they want whenever they want, and the SEC will take A&M at any point because they deliver the state of Texas without posing a serious threat to the SEC's power structure... It feels like it's only a matter of time...

Rivals.com College Football Staff Writer
North Carolina'sdefense features a handful of potential NFL first-round picks, but theTar Heels' chances of winning the ACC title rest on the performance ofthe man who leads their offense.
Tar Heels quarterback T.J. Yatesshowed plenty of promise early in his career, but he threw moreinterceptions (15) than touchdowns (14) last season while ranking 97thnationally in passing efficiency.
As good as UNC is on defense, the Tar Heels won't live up to expectations unless Yates and Co. improve on offense.
Because he could play such a vital role in determining whether his teamlives up to its high hopes, Yates headlines our list of 12 players whoneed to bounce back from disappointing seasons.
The players are listed alphabetically.
[table][tr][td]Michigan State WR Mark Dell[/td][/tr][tr][td]The buzz: After catching 36 passes for 679 yards and threetouchdowns in 2008, Dell headed into 2009 as one of the Big Ten's morepromising receivers. But instead of building on his momentum, he missedtwo games with a shoulder injury and finished the season with just 26receptions for 449 yards and one touchdown. To make matters worse, Dellwas suspended in December for his alleged involvement in a fight with afraternity. Dell caught four passes for 133 yards in the spring game,so perhaps he is ready to make the most of his second chance.[/td][td][/td][/tr][tr][td]Michigan LB Obi Ezeh[/td][/tr][tr][td]The buzz: After ranking seventh in the Big Ten in tackles pergame and earning honorable mention all-conference honors as asophomore, Ezeh suffered a big dip in production last season. As histackle total dropped from 98 in 2008 to 69 in '09, Ezeh became ascapegoat for the struggles of a Michigan defense that ranked eighth inthe Big Ten in points allowed and ninth in yards allowed. Ezehstruggled through back problems for much of last season, which lendscredence to the notion that he could bounce back if he stays healthy.[/td][td][/td][/tr][tr][td]Texas OT Kyle Hix[/td][/tr][tr][td]The buzz: Texas had to overcome the struggles of its offensiveline on its way to the BCS championship game. Because Hix was supposedto be one of the team's top linemen, he received much of the blame whenthe line didn't quite live up to expectations. The biggest reason Hixis on this list is because he's moving from right tackle to lefttackle, which puts even more pressure on him to deliver as he protectsfirst-year starting quarterback Garrett Gilbert'sblind side. If Hix doesn't perform well, Texas will have a hard timewinning the Big 12 South, much less getting back to the nationalchampionship game.[/td][td][/td][/tr][tr][td]Ball State RB MiQuale Lewis[/td][/tr][tr][td]The buzz: It's not that Lewis had a bad year last season. Herushed for 871 yards and five touchdowns as one of the only weapons ona team that ranked 114th in the nation in total offense. But he rushedfor nearly twice as many yards (1,736) in 2008, when he reached the endzone 22 times and ranked fifth in the nation with 124.0 rushing yardsper game. His 871-yard total from last season also is somewhatmisleading because he gained 301 of those yards in one game, a 29-27victory over Eastern Michigan. A look at Ball State's record from thelast two years shows how much Lewis means to this offense. When herushed for 1,736 yards, Ball State went 12-2. The Cardinals slumped to2-10 when he tailed off last season.[/td][td][/td][/tr][tr][td]Oklahoma RB DeMarco Murray[/td][/tr][tr][td]The buzz: When Murray rushed for 764 yards and 13 touchdowns onjust 127 carries as a redshirt freshman in 2007, he looked like afuture All-American. He followed that up by rushing for 1,002 yards and14 scores in 2008, but he managed just 705 yards and eight touchdownslast season. Part of the blame goes to Oklahoma's offensive line. Andit didn't help that Oklahoma typically used five-receiver sets afterredshirt freshman quarterback Landry Joneswas pressed into duty early in the season. But it's tough to ignorethat Murray gained just 4.1 yards per carry last season, down from 5.6in 2008 and 6.0 in 2007.[/td][td][/td][/tr][tr][td]Maryland RB Da'Rel Scott[/td][/tr][tr][td]The buzz: After rushing for 1,133 yards and eight touchdowns toearn first-team All-ACC honors in 2008, Scott ran for only 425 yardsand four touchdowns last season while missing five games with a brokenleft forearm. Although it would be easy to assume Scott's fall inproduction was a direct result of the injury, he was struggling evenbefore he got hurt. His two fumbles proved critical in an early 32-31loss to Middle Tennessee,and that game was the only time he reached the 100-yard mark. If Scottstays healthy and takes better care of the ball, he could team with Davin Meggett and quarterback Jamarr Robinson to give Maryland a solid rushing attack.[/td][td][/td][/tr][tr][td]Notre Dame SS Harrison Smith[/td][/tr][tr][td]The buzz: Smith showed plenty of promise as a sophomore when hewon a starting job at strongside linebacker and delivered 57 overalltackles, including 8.5 for loss. He actually increased his tackle totalto 69 last season after moving to safety, but he had enough trouble athis new position that he moved back to linebacker for the second halfof the season. Smith seemed to lose confidence as his strugglesreflected the troubles of Notre Dame's entire defense, which allowed atleast 30 points in six of its 12 games. Smith has moved back to safetyand could benefit from not having to worry about switching positionsanymore, as he isn't considered a fit as a linebacker in new coach Brian Kelly's 3-4 scheme. [/td][td][/td][/tr][tr][td]UTEP QB Trevor Vittatoe[/td][/tr][tr][td]The buzz: Although he threw for more yards in 2009 (3,30thanhe did a year earlier (3,274), his efficiency went down. Vittatoe threw33 touchdown passes with only nine interceptions in 2008; he had 17touchdown passes and 13 interceptions in '09. UTEP might not needVittatoe to throw for 3,000 yards this season because the Miners returnDonald Buckram,who ran for 1,594 yards and ranked fourth in the nation in rushing lastseason. But they do need him to get his touchdown-interception ratioback to his 2008 level.[/td][td]
[/td][/tr][tr][td]Missouri RB Derrick Washington[/td][/tr][tr][td]The buzz: One year after rushing for 1,036 yards and 17touchdowns, Washington managed 865 yards and 10 scores in '09. Herushed for 171 fewer yards last season despite having 13 more carries.Washington has dropped 10 pounds during the offseason in an attempt toincrease his quickness. It will be interesting to see what kind ofworkload Washington receives. He had a total of 59 carries inMissouri's final five games last season. Even in that outstanding 2008season, Washington never had as many as 20 carries in a game.[/td][td][/td][/tr][tr][td]Minnesota QB Adam Weber[/td][/tr][tr][td]The buzz: Weber's statistics indicate why Minnesota faded downthe stretch last season. Over the Gophers' last eight games of theseason, Weber threw nine interceptions and only seven touchdown passes.Weber threw five touchdowns and only one interception in a 42-34victory over Michigan State during that stretch, so he was picked offeight times and threw for only two touchdowns in the other seven games.He finished the season ranked 98th in the nation in passing efficiencyafter throwing 13 touchdown passes and 15 interceptions. One yearearlier, Weber had thrown 15 touchdown passes with only eightinterceptions.[/td][td][/td][/tr][tr][td]Florida State DE Markus White[/td][/tr][tr][td]The buzz: Florida State was counting on this former five-starprospect from Butler County (Kan.) Community College to help fill apass-rushing void. It hasn't happened. White had 24.5 sacks and forcedsix fumbles at Butler County in 2007, and he had 5.5 tackles for lossin a backup role at Florida State two years ago. White had arespectable 10.5 tackles for loss last year, but he produced just twosacks. The Seminoles need White to deliver on the promise he showed injunior college.[/td][td][/td][/tr][tr][td]North Carolina QB T.J. Yates[/td][/tr][tr][td]The buzz: Early in Yates' career, it seemed as though onlyinjuries would prevent him from stardom. As long as he was healthyenough to stay on the field, Yates performed well while throwing to areceiving corps that included first-round draft pick Hakeem Nicks,third-round pick Brandon Tate and fifth-round pick Brooks Foster. Hewasn't nearly as effective last season while playing alongsideinexperienced receivers. Did Yates simply need a year to adjust to hisnew receivers? Or did Nicks, Tate and Foster make Yates look betterthan he actually is? Yates' 2010 performance should settle theargument.[/td][td][/td][/tr][/table]

[h1]Marve making most of his second chance[/h1]
Tom Dienhart
Rivals.com College Football Senior Writer
Purdue quarterback Robert Marve finally is out of the spotlight. And he likes it that way.
Marve, a former starter at Miami,has settled into a quiet existence in West Lafayette, Ind., forgingwhat appears to be a perfect marriage between a wayward player and ateetering program.
[table][tr][td][/td][td][/td][/tr][tr][td][/td][/tr][tr][td]QB Robert Marve, a transfer from Miami, has found a home at Purdue.[/td][/tr][/table] It's simple: Marve and Purdue need each other.
"The first thing I want to say, like I always want to say is, I justthank God for being out here," said Marve, one of the highest-profiletransfers in the nation this season. "You go through so many things andadversities in life that it's a great feeling when you can go out ontothe field and play. I just want to thank God for my situation."
This is a second chance for Marve -- a last chance, really. Hehas two years to get it right, two years to show that all of the hypethat surrounded him coming out of Tampa Plant, where he was Florida's""Mr. Football," was merited.
Purdue needs him to help steady a listing ship. This is aprogram that has missed the postseason in each of the past two seasonsafter playing in a bowl in 10 of Joe Tiller's 12 seasons from1997-2008. It's critical for the Boilermakers to make a bowl thisseason to restore viability and credibility to the program. Attendanceand interest is lagging.
Marve didn't head to Purdue to sit on the bench. But thecoaches didn't name a starting quarterback exiting spring practice,meaning Marve will continue to battle sophomore Caleb TerBush and redshirt freshman Rob Henry(another former Florida high school star) for the job when camp opensin August. Still, it would be shock if the Marve wasn't under centerwhen Purdue opens the season at Notre Dame on Sept. 4.
"I haven't heard any negative stories about him," Purdue coach Danny Hopesaid. "He's a transfer. It doesn't have to have a negative connotation.I always equate it to being a divorcee. It doesn't mean you have adefect in character; it means it didn't work out. There aren't anyhorror stories out there about Robert Marve that I've ever uncovered.
Moving on
Here are 12 other transfers who, like Purdue's Robert Marve, need to play big roles for their new teams this season:
Colorado WR Toney Clemons (from Michigan)
The buzz Clemons never lived up to his high school hype with the Wolverines, and Rich Rodriguez'soffense wasn't the best fit. Colorado's more traditional offense doesseem like a good fit, and the Buffs are in dire need of playmakers onthe outside.
Kansas State WR Chris Harper (Oregon)
The buzz Harper is a great athlete who played quarterback withthe Ducks before transferring to a school in his home state. TheWildcats' offense was one-dimensional last season -- "Here, Daniel Thomas, take the ball and run" -- and K-State coaches need to take advantage of Harper's versatility this year.
Cincinnati WR Vidal Hazelton (USC)
The buzz Hazelton was solid in 2007, then fell off the map in2008 and decided to transfer. Cincy needs someone to be a consistentNo. 2 receiver to Armon Binns, and Hazelton certainly has the talent to do so.
Western Michigan LB Dex Jones (Wisconsin)
The buzz: Jones (6-0/24
Nevada SS Corbin Louks (Utah)
The buzz Louks was a quarterback with the Utes and actuallywent into fall drills last season expected to win the starting job. Buthe got beaten out and decided to move on. Utah coaches had toyed withplaying him at safety, and Nevada coaches went ahead and moved him tothe other side of the ball. Louks is a big-time athlete who will needto provide a steady hand for a secondary that has been a sieve the pastfew seasons.
Rice RB Sam McGuffie (Michigan)
The buzz McGuffie was a touted high school player in theHouston area who saw a lot of playing time as a true freshman with theWolverines in 2008. But he decided to leave and should play a big rolefor a rebuilding Owls offense. McGuffie's receiving skills should beput to good use out of the backfield.
Tulane DE Dezman Moses (Iowa)
The buzz Moses should provide a talent upgrade for a defensethat sorely needs more talent. Moses runs well and coaches hope he canprovide a consistent pass-rush threat out of the Green Wave's 4-2-5scheme
Louisiana Tech WR Ahmad Paige (Tennessee)
The buzz Paige is one of two Tennessee transfers (the other is RB Lennon Creer) and one of three from an SEC school (the other is WR Tim Molton,who left LSU) expected to provide big-play ability in a revampedoffense. The Bulldogs have gone from a run-first approach to apass-happy scheme installed by new coach Sonny !%$!*,a former Mike Leach disciple. Paige really did nothing with the Vols,but he had a strong spring and should become a deep threat for theBulldogs.
Arizona State WR Aaron Pflugrad (Oregon)
The buzz The Sun Devils lost their top two receivers lastseason and are rebuilding at the position; Pflugrad -- whose dad,Robin, was an ASU assistant from 1995-2000 --should see a lot of timein the Sun Devils' three- and four-receiver sets. He's a possessionreceiver known for his route-running ability.
Eastern Michigan FS Latarrius Thomas (Louisville)
The buzz EMU was pitiful on defense last season, and Thomas isexpected to play a big role as the Eagles' last line of defense. Thomasis a good athlete who can run. Second-year coach Ron English is a former defensive coordinator who should put Thomas' athleticism to good use.
Arizona State QB Steven Threet (Michigan)
The buzz Arizona State has received uneven quarterback playfor the past two seasons, but Threet -- who is on his third school --should provide the needed consistency. He started in 2008 for RichRodriguez at Michigan, but Rodriguez's version of the spread was a badfit. While Arizona State has installed some facets of the spread, theSun Devils like their quarterback to be comfortable as a dropbackpasser. Arizona State has a stout defense, so as long as the Sun Devilsreceive competent quarterback play, they should be bowl-bound.
New Mexico DT Ugo Uzodinma (Illinois)
The buzz Last season was a disaster for the Lobos, whocouldn't stop anybody. Uzodinma and fellow Illinois transfer ReggieEllis should provide some athleticism and bulk along the defensivefront. Uzodinma has a solid spring and earned a starting job. The Loboshave the makings of a good front seven, assuming Uzodinma, Ellis andsome other defensive newcomers play to their potential.
15 OTHERS TO WATCH Ohio QB Phil Bates (Iowa State); UCF RB Jeff Brinson (Iowa); Florida International QB Wesley Carroll (Mississippi State); Colorado State RB Raymond Carter (UCLA); TCU RB Aundre Dean (UCLA); Alabama CB Phelon Jones (LSU); Fresno State DE Chris Lewis (Miami); Tulane LB Trent Mackey (Duke); Memphis WR Jermaine McKenzie (Miami); Toledo SS Diauntae Morrow (Iowa); Western Michigan OT Dann O'Neill (Michigan); Kansas State WR Brodrick Smith (Minnesota); Memphis QB Cannon Smith (Miami); UCLA WR Josh Smith (Colorado); North Texas WR Tyler Stradford (Oklahoma).
"He's such a high-profile player who transferred inhere, has never got a snap at Purdue and has more media presence thanjust about anybody on the football team."
He won't say it, but Marve is happy to be out of southFlorida. His two-year Miami career ended up with more promise thanproduction.
Marve arrived at Miami as one of the nation's top 10quarterbacks; as a high school senior, he broke Tim Tebow'ssingle-season state records for passing yards (4,380) and touchdowns(4
In '08, Marve was suspended for the season opener after anoff-field incident. But he started the next 11 games, often showingflashes of brilliance en route to completing 116 of 213 passes for1,293 yards with nine touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
"I was impressed with him," said Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe,whose team lost to Miami with Marve at quarterback in 2008. "He's aheck of a talent. The other thing that struck me was that he wastough."
But Marve was suspended for academic reasons and missed the Emerald Bowl loss to California. Soon thereafter, UM coaches named Jacory Harris the starting quarterback for the '09 season and offensive coordinator Patrick Nix was fired.
Marve had had enough. He announced that he was transferring -- and the drama intensified.
It was believed Marve had interest in transferring to Tennessee, LSU or Florida.But Miami coaches put a caveat in the scholarship release, saying Marvecouldn't transfer to any school in Florida or any in the SEC or ACC.Marve appealed to a school committee.
After some negative press, the university lifted some of therestrictions, allowing him to transfer to any school in the SEC otherthan Florida, Tennessee and LSU. Those schools were singled out becauseUM officials believed people representing Marve's family had contactedthose schools regarding Marve's transfer. Marve still was prohibitedfrom transferring to an ACC school. And the in-state ban was liftedsomewhat, too, as Marve was allowed to transfer to USF and UCF.
But on May 20, 2009, Marve announced he would attend Purdue. Shortlythereafter, he tore an anterior cruciate ligament. Marve worked throughthe rehab while sitting out last season at Purdue, giving him time tothink, grow and mature.
"He is a great kid who has done everything we have asked ofhim," Hope said. "He has a real passion for the game. He wants to getbetter. And his talent has been apparent. Even better, Robert has beena good teammate."
Recovered from his knee injury, Marve showed glimpses in springdrills of the athletic ability and arm strength that made him such atouted recruit.
"Like anyone, there is some growing up to do from high schoolto college," Hope said. "But he has worked extremely hard sincearriving. I am very proud of what he has done academically.
"He didn't have a very glamorous academic portfolio when he arrived oncampus, and we have talked about the importance of him being a topstudent. And he has done a great job in the classroom since arrive,helping us achieve our academic goals of having a team GPA over 3.0."
Marve is spending this summer working with his receivers todevelop timing and chemistry. He has walked into a good situation onoffense and has a chance to join the long list of great quarterbacks atPurdue, which has produced the likes of Len Dawson, Bob Griese, MikePhipps, Jim Everett and Drew Brees, among others.
"The game is slowing down for me tremendously," Marve said."The one thing I've learned is to take it one play at a time and seewhat the defense gives you and take it."
At this point, Marve will take anything. He's just happy to have this opportunity, happy to have a second chance.

Go back a ways and see where I stand on Texas... Definitely NOT a UT hater... Dig a little deeper and look into this thing for yourself and don't just eat up the media-spin "Texas saved the Big XII" BS... It's very clear why this thing got to where it did... Texas has done a TON of good for this conference across all sports. But it's also at the very core of everything that happened the last few weeks... It is what it is.Originally Posted by gumbottombandit
dude, you are hilarious. are you an A&M alum or something, because you've been taking shots at UT since this whole talk of the bigXII split happened?
I understand Texas Tech and Oklahoma State following Texas wherever they go without question or concern. They have no choice. They can't stand on their own two legs in this thing because they bring nothing to the table financially.. But Oklahoma tucking its tail between its legs like a dog that just got caught taking a %$** in the house was and still is disgusting to me...

He did have a nagging ankle injury for the latter half of the year, that has a little bit to do with it. Remember he left the Chick Fil A Bowl early in the 4th (still torched the Vols for 175 though).
But yea he doesn't have top end speed, he probably runs in the 4.5's (or 4.4's by our stopwatches)

Kevin Sousa got an offer from Michigan.
he will be the latest fastest rising QB this yr sorta like Tyler Bray was last yr.
Sousa is Really really good and underrated.
Everything Ive heard from around the state is he has been every bit as impressive as Driskell in spring and summer camp circuit.
RichRod is prolly his biggest offer right now too, so u michigan fans keep an eye on him

Doubt anyone cares, but USCFootball.com summarizes all the inconsistencies in the NCAA "evidence". NCAA fails to even get the years right in their report. Case is far from over.

Gotta disagree Gunna, Bama in no way had a case as strong as SC's.
Last thing NCAA wants to do is fight SC in the state/federal courts. SC basically offered out a handshake by saying they'll meet halfway on the punishments today. NCAA would be stupid not to take it.

"Charlotte (N.C.) Mallard Creek quarterback Marquise Williams was set to make his decision Saturday between Michigan, Virginia Tech and North Carolina, with most expecting the Tar Heels to win this battle. But Williams, whose commitment was going to leave room for official visits, has decided to delay things a bit. What has changed? There are rumors that Hurricanes might be back involved with Williams despite a commitment from Miami Northwestern quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Marquise Williams held off on making an announcement. Miami is Williams' dream school, and if the Hurricanes were to offer, he might jump at it right away. Many thought the 'Canes were done at quarterback when Bridgewater jumped on board. But if the rumors are true, this could get interesting."

The NCAA by Supreme court law has the right to discipline its members as long as due process is involved.

The issue has drawn headlines when some men's basketball coaches started making offers to middle school players.
The recruiting cabinet also wants to give coaches more flexibility in calling recruits, their parents or legal guardians. If approved, coaches could contact recruits and their families once a month from June 15 of their sophomore year through July 31 of their junior year in high school.
Starting on Aug. 1 of the senior year, coaches could call a recruit twice a week. Coaches would also be allowed to make one call per week to junior college transfers or transfers from other four-year schools.
The rule is already being used in men's basketball and would be expanded to include all sports except football.
The Legislative Council will not vote on any of the proposals before January and it could delay a vote until April 2011

Tons of Michigan fans have been praying for this offer to go out. Love his film and his athleticism. Hope he comes to Michigan but I think we see him get some very nice offers and stays south.
