[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 132020010, member: 1428007"] When people stab you in the back, you aren’t “ playing the victim” by pointing it out. One could argue that WVU was largely responsible for the financial and other successes that OU and UT received over the past decade— after all WVU by leaving the Big East early and accepting a long buy in allowed Texas and Oklahoma to keep the BIg 12 together so they could enrich themselves And achieve athletic success too. Since they will be paid sweetly and won’t have to deal with the constant negativity that they helped create for the BIG 12 they’ll undoubtedly be happy. It’s doubtful in a much larger conference where all schools are getting a similar amount of revenue and lots of positive recruiting exposure that they’ll have athletic success like they’ve enjoyed though— of course with an 8 game conference schedule in some ways it will be easier. Texas is likely to be buried though. All WVU can do is restore their athletic success, work to gain better academic rankings and increase research and do their best to help the conference select the best possible commissioner. [/QUOTE]
