Conference realignment is once again
on the front burner with news that

Aresco addresses Big 12
speculation |
|
NEWPORT, RI �
American
Athletic Conference
commissioner Mike Aresco led
off the league's football
media day and felt obliged
during the course of his
remarks to address possible
Big 12 expansion that could
impact his league.
Aresco made the point that if the AAC wasn't competitive,
the handful of programs that
have been mentioned as
possibilities to join the
Power Five conference
wouldn't be getting such
attention. ...

Vines snatched up hometown
offer |

When you�re playing alongside a
major college recruit and one of the
most productive high school
receivers in the state you can be
easily overshadowed. But that
situation only served as motivation
for Mydreon Vines last season at
Greenville�s Rose High School.

"Life has good

to get through them
you have to battle.
Life is not all
smooth. I've had my
bumps and bruises,
like anybody, but
I've always tried to
look at life like a
glass that's half
