MWC still leading by 6 points but look at the map. We now have LA, MI,VA and VT.

The poll is still there but we are now down 4 points. There is also a poll on the Big12 viability in 3 years. 71% think it won't be and there is over 116,000 votes and all 50 states agree.

Just saw a rumor that the Big East is looking at Memphis and UCF to expand.

Nope?: http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2010/0 ... d=si_ncaaf

I thought this quote from the article was interesting: "Last week, CBSSports.com reported FedEx CEO Fred Smith had spoken to various conference officials and made it known that his Memphis-based company could provide up to $10 million annually if a BCS-affiliated league, such as the Big East, would invite Memphis."

I wonder what Fedex shareholders would think about 10 mill of the company's revenue being spent each year to support the BCS affiliation of the local college?

It's called sponsorships.

Interestingly, FedEx denied the report completely. Said they've made no such offer.
