Hello college football and basketball fans! The college realignment rumors have once again reached full circle with the rumor that Florida State is moving to the Big 12, despite the fact that Eric Barron, Florida State's president, is skeptical of the move.  Adding fuel to the fire is the recently introduced SEC vs. Big 12 college football bowl game.
