Why in the world would you want WVU to be in the SEC? Isn't it painful enough being in the Big XII?

B12 won't reach B1G or SEC media $$$. They will survive and looks like be the best of the remaining three P5's.
Some of the tolls are discounting the 4 new markets. It's all about inventory and eyeballs.

Let's see, um,,, survival in the top tier of colleges athletics(heading to just Power2), much much more money, closer to Morgantown(Kentucky, Tennessee).
Painful now yes because of who they added, and the commissioner wants to expand west. And I would never want to be in the acc.

WVUs and the BIG 12s money is going up. While the PAC has the most likely schools to be picked in the near term, the commissioner hasn’t said he wouldn’t take ACC schools when they become available.

 

[WVUALLEN]

What will he do when the media members tell Yormark no extra money just like they told the PAC. Negotiating is one thing and actually getting it is another.

I have a feeling Yormark is gonna get a better deal. He wouldn’t make the statement if he wasn’t sure. These guys talk internally amongst themselves well before the announcement is made.
