Message: <blockquote data-quote="topdecktiger" data-source="post: 129295977" data-attributes="member: 1459051">None. That's the author's point. The better fits (SEC, ACC, even Big Ten) were not available, because for one reason or another, those conferences took other teams. The author's point is that West Virginia had only one option, Big 12 or bust.Again, that's the point. There were no other options. That's the point the author is making. For example, being in the SEC East with a conference network would have been great, but it wasn't even an option.I disagree with the author's assessment that anyone who is in a P5 conference is a "loser," but I do agree that within the P5 level, West Virginia did not end up in an ideal situation. They were taken out of their natural recruiting area and put in a conference where it will be difficult to land recruits from the conference's recruiting hotbed.No, you don't. We've seen just in this thread that you twist and misrepresent other people's comments (like with this author), so your memory and interpretations are already suspect. I simply never said West Virginia should have stayed in the Big East. Much like with the author, you imagined something that I never said.Another perfect example of you reading what you want to read, instead of what someone actually wrote. What I told you was why the ACC would choose Syracuse and Pitt instead of West Virginia, not that West Virginia should stay in the Big East. I never said West Virginia should stay in the Big East. I just told you why the ACC would choose other teams instead of them.See, this is exactly my point. You took something I said, and twisted it around. This is exactly what you did with the author's piece. You get so upset when someone says something that's even vaguely critical of West Virginia that you don't clearly understand what they are saying, and draw the wrong conclusions.This is why I don't respect your opinion, because it's based on inaccuracies.If you notice, I only comment on issues regarding expansion (which this is), or general college football stories. I do this on several boards. When it's strictly a team-specific issue, I don't comment because I don't know/care about the issue. When it's a more broad issue, such as expansion, those are topics that interest me, so in those instances I comment.</blockquote>
