[QUOTE="Darth_VadEER, post: 131759525, member: 1536653"] The reality is the B12 died a decade ago and Texas extended the conferences life longer, which probably benefited WVU more than any other university considering the situation we were in back then. If we would have added more schools back then, it would have just diluted our paychecks and we'd still be in the same situation we are in today - so same outcome but with less money. Texas and Oklahoma are going to make $20 - $50 million more PER YEAR in the SEC (and the money will grow). There is really no logical argument to make them to stay because there isnt an option the B12 can provide them that gives that same paycheck, and the security of being in the most powerful and competitive conferences....they just have a better deal that no one else can match. A B12 Network probably wasn't going to happen. You only have Texas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas and WV to push the network...the footprint is too small. [/QUOTE]
