About joining That league. Or that that would be best. Or that there is any interest. It’s all a ruse and has been for a decade to keep WVU from acting in its best interest. The article below should clear that up for those believing the endless threads and comments from posers on WVU boards And social media.
Acc fans stop trying to deceive WVU fans
- Thread starter Buckaineer
- Start date
Remember when Wannstedt said WVU was a done deal to ACC last year? That was awesome..
Wannstedt was only ever right about 1 thing. Pitt needs to learn to run faster.
More on the ACC trying to undermine WVU and the BIG 12s future w the aid of Espn- once again should leave no doubt for those few WVU fans buying into the ACC hype trolls here ( and elsewhere).
excerpt
The partnership, an idea more than anything else at this point, reportedly “heavily involves the ESPN-owned ACC Network.”
Per Dellenger and Forde, the ACC Network — owned and operated by ESPN — would acquire the “exclusive rights to broadcast Pac-12 games to West Coast households through ESPN cable providers.”

The BIG 12 is working to acquire PAC schools which will solidify WVU and the BIG 12 as a conference whose value is in the top three and likely to be included in the top national championship picture.
The ACC with ESPN’s help of course is trying to kaibash that and destabilize WVUs conference and therefore WVU in the process.
But of course you already knew that.
I don’t believe schools like Clemson, UNC and Florida State will sit still for 14 years, reportedly 6 schools can take down the ACC GOR.
ACC troll Allen is still trying to push his ACC Is unstoppable crap. And still lying about what he and I have said. What a moron.
Still trying to sell people that the best place for WVU is the Acc, a losing coach is great, a winning coach was terrible, etc etc,

You act like you’re the first to think of that. WVU has inquired about the SEC at least twice since Nehlen was here. They don’t want us. Be thankful for the Big12.
Last year there was speculation that the Pac 12 might invite Big 12 teams into their fold. For whatever reason it never happened. If they were reluctant to invite big 12 members then they are probably reluctant to become Big 12 members. Teams and conferences do what's best for them. Like it or not if the Big 12 is going to be relevant Espn has to be a part of the mix. If Espn sees more value in some sort of Acc Pac 12 partnership then that should tell you that the Big 12 isn't there most valuable product. But of course you already knew that.
Times are different now, and the Big12 hurt themselves and soured me on them when they added byu
I’d say like every conference school they (PAC) want to survive and thrive in major college athletics.
The PAC 12 foolishly thought they were safe from realignment and so went about putting down the BIg 12 members that weren’t Ut or OU like other fools out there. But now their circumstance has dramatically changed and the OU and Texas of their league has left them and more are openly running for the doors.
But there are some that probably know they are not getting into the B10 or SEC ever, and they have to find the best path forward. Always easier to stay put- but where does that get you if Oregon and Washington get out, or Stanford?
Their media rights were already at the bottom and they were doing the worst in regards to making playoffs even with USC and UCLA. Dwindling fan support and bottom tv ratings.
Joining the BIG 12 since it’s in a different region or regions is probably a WVU like decision for them— you’d have liked to stay where you were and build on that, but that option is all but gone and the best means of survival into the future is likely the BIG 12 conference for several of those schools.
They are supposed to be getting some financial #s this week from their other options so things could start moving faster soon.

No they need to make sure their home for college sports in the BIG 12 is thriving and stop pissing proactive success away for pipe dreams.
Sorry you hate BYU and the Big12 soo much. It could be worse. WVU could be in the AAC. Relax.
Big 12 was good, and I don’t hate it, just now it is not in a good position.
No question that at this point in time the BIG 12 is in the better position. Add some of these PAC schools and it’s an even better position.
The PAC is going to lose at the very least Oregon, and most likely Washington and Stanford too. Just a matter of time now til FSU, UNC, Clemson, Miami and probably Virginia and Georgia Tech are gone from the ACc, Notre Dame even before that.
The SEC and Big Ten have expanded. There’s NOTHING to be done about that. WVU and the rest of the BIG 12 can only improve their position and that is exactly what they must do. WVU needs to get back to Holgorsen, Rodriguez levels of winning and beating quality opponents rapidly.
Why do people think West Virginia chose the Big 12 over the ACC a decade ago? This never made sense, the ACC chose Louisville over West Virginia. I imagine West Virginia would have jumped into the ACC had there been that option. Now West Virginia fans believe the ACC is gonna save itself by adding Notre Dame and West Virginia as a pair?
Texas and Oklahoma are two giants. USC is a football powerhouse. Pairing them with UCLA gives the B1G a stranglehold in L.A. What does West Virginia add to the ACC that would convince Clemson, FSU, Miami and North Carolina that the ACC is on par with what the SEC, and B1G are doing?

The Big12 chose WVU over Louisville. Mitch McConnell tried to sway the selection towards Louisville, but Joe Manchin also stepped in and WVU got the invite. We will never know if the ACC would’ve done the same. They supposedly called WVU right after they accepted the Big12 invite, however, WVU was already committed to the Big12. So the ACC went with Louisville supposedly.
When you conference is soon to be made up of only two state flag universities four state universities that go by Jr two small private schools and 5 members that used to be G5 members then your overall standing isn't that high. Its not a recipe for a big pay day. The big 12 is one raid away from becoming a majority G5 conference.
Oklahoma State, West Virginia, Cincinnati, UCF, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, Houston, Texas Tech- all MAJOR state institutions. BYU is/ soon to be was a major independent. Baylor and TCU are highly regarded private institutions. Even before you add in Arizona, ASU, Colorado and Utah- perhaps a couple of others your shill statement sounds like the ravings of a lunatic.
Btw you may not have noticed the ACC has UNC and UVA as it’s only “ flagship” institutions, BC, Wake, Duke, Miami, Syracuse— all small private schools, Louisville, VT, Pitt, GT, Clemson, NC State, FSU all “ jrs“ by your standard, and yet not a peep about that conference with your double standard nonsense? What a moron.
Better yet the conference isn’t likely to be poached, but rather to be poaching others.
Conferences likely to be poached would be the ACC and PAC.

A nonsensical statement. So you think it would be better to be in danger of being poached Rather than being stable? But then In your next post you claim the BIG 12 is in danger of being poached. Which is it exactly? Can’t be both. Obviously you are just pushing out a negative no matter what. Everything you say as usual is total anti BIg 12 shill ********.
WVU was ALREADY a BIG 12 member under a GOR for at least a year before the ACC invited Louisville in desperation to keep football schools Clemson and FSU content after the defection of Maryland from that conference. Nice try at rewriting history though.
