Andy Katz Reviews the Landscape

ESPN's Andy Katz provides a good overall assessment of the realignment situation, as of mid-afternoon today. Regarding a possible 10th team for the Big 12 (assuming Texas A&M's move to the SEC comes to fruition, but that Missouri now doesn't join the Aggies), Katz characterizes the possibilities thusly:
  • Arkansas is a "no"
  • BYU is a "maybe"
  • Louisville "available"
  • West Virginia "available"
As far as the SEC and its apparent limbo with an odd number of teams (13), Katz writes:

The SEC can take its time in deciding if it would add Missouri or even look again to West Virginia, which it has recently rejected. Grabbing Virginia Tech will be tougher with a $20 million exit fee being proposed in the ACC.
