The Mid-Morning Dump - 11/28/12

DRAKE DESTRUCTION. Without Chelsea Poppens, the Cyclones still went to town on the struggling Drake Bulldogs 87-45.

VB FIRST ROUND MATCHUP. Iowa State will play IPFW in the first round of the NCAA women's volleyball tournament.

LOUISVILLE TO THE ACC. A possible Big 12 target is off the table with Louisville heading to the ACC to replace Maryland. This is a disappointment for Cincinnati, who was trying to position themselves ahead of Louisville.

TULANE AND ECU TO BIG EAST. Adding Tulane is a total WTF move, but ECU makes a lot of sense for the Big East.

DEATH TO THE ACC ANYWAY? Does Maryland's move signify an end to the ACC anyway?

KANSAS TO THE BIG TEN? KU's student newspaper wants the Jayhawks to leave the Big 12 for the Big 10.

VIRGINIA STANDS BEHIND ACC. At least that's what they're saying, so they're probably off to the Big 10 soon.

WHY NOT TAVON? Why can't Tavon Austin win the Heisman? Personally, I can't think of anyone in college football who's scarier to face.

BEST BOWL ELIGIBILITY EVER. The 90% clip that the Big 12 is at is the best in the history of college football.

JIM HARBAUGH IS JUST LIKE PAUL RHOADS! Both really love that "or" designation on the QB depth chart.

WOO PIG MILESY. Les Miles has a "serious offer" on the table from Arkansas.

MANGINO'S BACK?

Talks between Colorado and Mark Mangino are continuing, a source close to the situation tells me. Parties expected to meet a second time.
