[QUOTE="wbgvwbgv, post: 129266558, member: 1417056"] We were in a conference with all of our so called rivals and every team in the conference did everything possible to leave as soon as they had the chance - so much for the life blood theory. WVU has never been in a better position than they are now and the home schedules have never been better IMO. This is by far the strongest conference that WVU has ever competed in and the national exposure is as good as it gets. At one time Pitt was a consistent top 10 program, played their games on campus in a full stadium, got the best recruits in the nation, and had outstanding coaches. Look at Pitt now and the glory days aren't coming back anytime soon. Pitt is barely better than Temple these days and things are only going to get worse. Pitt had the worst recruiting class last year of all the Power 5 Conference schools. Playing Pitt does little for WVU's football program, and Lyons indicated that nothing was going to happen for at least another 7 or 8 years anyway. A low priority as it should be. [/QUOTE]
