In the cloak-and-dagger world of conference realignment, clues to potential moves can manifest themselves in strange places.
One emerged last week via a Twitter account with 313 followers promoting Texas State tailback Lincoln Pare for the Heisman Trophy.
The account included a picture -- cribbed from the Instagram story of the Texas State president -- of two beavers floating in the San Marcos River. And it noted the potential realignment ramifications -- "Beavers in the San Marcos River" -- by including a scratching chin emoji that hinted at the possibility of Texas State joining Oregon State in the Pac-12.
