[QUOTE="Volatility_rivals135605, post: 132070787, member: 1476288"] Its somewhat funny to see Houston, Cinci, TTU, and a few others on that list that are obviously not on WVU's level when it comes to overall brand value. They wrote that purely from a geographical perspective and not really from a overall brand value perspective, which is likely the most critical factor used in choosing programs. Geography is yesteryears perspective. On the surface, people look at WVU like its a smallfry, mainly due to the population size of the state. In some ways we are, but we maintain a very high fan participation rate, which shows up when you break down what factors are used to formulate overall Brand Value & Revenue potential. Taking all factors in place WVU ranks in the top 30 in the country, which most wouldnt(not even myself) would have guessed. Logo & Merchandise Fan attendance TV ratings Streaming packages etc While our recruiting base is certainly a weakness as programs dont look at WV as a hub for recruiting, it has improved a little recently, but its still a downside. Even if some of these are given a different weighting in a conferences top secret evaluation ranking process, WVU would still be in the top 25-40, accounting for how a different weighting could slightly shift the rankings. Considering how scale & participation can now be monetized in the modern economy, WVU will have a place at the table somewhere... From a culture perspective we fit the SEC, well.... the state does anyways, the University has continued to push left separating itself from the views of the majority of the state, so its a bit of an oddity. We fit from a geographical and rival perspective in the ACC. However, if FSU, Clemson, & Miami bolt, we could just be stepping into another crumbling situation there, which I believe is highly likely at this point. If the top 32 programs from Pac12, Big12, & ACC formed a super conference. Spanning from coast to coast, North to South.. To maximize its reach for marketing, and in every market... Two Divisions of 16, each broken down into pods of 4. Notably allowing for higher % of Rivalries, which increases participation, views, ratings, etc... By sticking the top 4 rivals in each pod(as much as possible)... EX: East Division Pod1 WVU, VATech, Syracuse, Pitt East Division Pod2 Louisville, UNC, Duke, UVA East Division pod3 Okie St, TCU, Baylor, Kansas East Division pod4 UCF, Houston, Cinci, GaTech ____ West Division Pod1 Oregon, Washington, Utah, BYU West Division Pod2 Arizona, AState, Colorado, Texas Tech West Division Pod3 Cal, Stanford, Wash St, ? West Division pod4 IowaSt, KState, ?, ? You would play every program in your pod every year, then play 1 team from every other pod, giving 10 P5/Conference opponents, allowing for 1 "tune-up" game with your typical WVU vs WKU. That creates more quality opponents, instead of only playing 9 P5s, and because you have good rivalries there is no need to play any teams from SEC or BigTen(Until you see them in the National Collegiate Championship). This would nurture higher participation and more conference games = more revenues.. You could end up with the BigTen and SEC agreeing to their own playoff system, and Championship, likewise with the new Super Conference, each would have their Champion and you could have a National Championship game between both super conferences... I would hope, at least for the Big12's sake, the new commissioner isnt going to wait around and leave its future in the hands of Notre Dame.
