This summer, the only place I went to was Texas. And I thought, 'I like this place a lot, I think I want to go here.' My mom said, 'I think you should just wait it out a little and go see some other places before you make a decision like that.' I did, and I'm glad I listened to her, because I liked the other places I went to."

WVU, Big East Near Resolution

From the article: "West Virginia is close to reaching a settlement with the Big East. The Mountaineers will pay the conference an $11 million cash settlement to join the Big 12 for the upcoming football season, a source with knowledge of the situation told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The settlement is expected to bring to an end more than three months of litigation between the school and the conference since the Mountaineers announced in late October that it planned to join the Big 12 in time for the 2012 football season."

Former Longhorn Ricky Williams has always been a difficult guy to figure out. Over at the mothership, Bomani Jones tries to assess the legacy of an enigmatic and, at times, reluctant football player still willing to share elements of his personality that many in the game either don't posses or choose not to share.

West Virginia Seeks To Speed Up Move To Big 12

The return of fun and completely nonsensical realignment-based rumors to BON spurred me into trying to figure out what's up with WVU -- this situation kinda sorta needs to be figured out quickly, don't you think? Here's the latest: WVU is seeking to cancel its game this fall with Florida State to make room for the additional conference games the Big 12 will require.

Four 'Horns on final 2012 NFL Combine invite list

17

Linebackers Emmanuel Acho and Keenan Robinson are among four former Texas football players invited to the 2012 NFL Scouting Combine in preparation for April's draft. Defensive tackle Kheeston Randall will also be working out for scouts, but it seems unlikely that running back Fozzy Whittaker will be able to participate as he recovers from the knee injury he incurred courtesy of Faurot Field. The somewhat surprising omission here is offensive lineman David Snow, who was no doubt hoping that a solid performance during the week of practice for the East-West Shrine game would earn him an invite. Players like Snow and safety Blake Gideon, who also played in the East-West game, will have to perform well at the Texas Pro Day to draw interest from NFL teams.

Head on over to BP for a look at how the conference is again one of the top two strongest top-to-bottom in the country, how the divisional schedule helped Kansas win so many conference titles, and why the race for this year's championship is tighter and more competitive than ever.
