Oh boy, there goes two of the B10 slots. I thought Texas and company were on their way to the PAC-10 (following Colorado) not B10. This might change things a bit in SU's chances of getting pulled into the B10. I think this is just the tip of the iceberg in the conference reshuffling (as others have mentioned) and we will be down to 4 super-conferences by the end of the World Cup.
So, does SU still gets into the B10 now? Personally, I don't think so. With this move I think the geography issue is now certainly against the B10 as compared to the ACC. But, weirder things have happened.
