A few years ago I would have said WV is in trouble here, but I don't think so especially if the SEC takes Oklahoma and Texas because other conferences are going to be looking to take the best football and basketball schools left at that point to compete.....I think academics is out the window
Does that mean we can call them athlete-students now?

You're being pollyanna. It's all about potential viewers. WVU's is tiny in comparison to others...small state with small alumni base etc...poor state...low perceived status...small media footprint etc. Why do you think Rutgers for example is in the Big? We need a miracle and could still get one but definitely are not in a good position.

Some education for the misinformed troll:



WVU is 15th in the nation in all time wins
WVU has achieved top-10 AP rankings in 6 of 7 previous decades (50s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s).
No, we are not ND, Alabama, nor Ohio State. But we would bring respectability and tradition to athletics in any conference.

I will never understand why anyone supposedly associated with WVU lets these OOC WVU/BIG 12 hating trolls come here and put down the University and conference endlessly with lies.

Its this same cr@p that has lead to what is happening right now.
Then why are you here #1 troll. Constantly putting down WVU since your boyfriend skipped out.

That is completely meaningless.

Every AD was somebody before they became someone.

This isn't about personal relationships. You need the green light from the networks.

Right...like last time.

When everything was leaked and WVU looked embarrassed.
(Sarcastic Post) Insiders on TOS and here having solid info that we end up where Mizzouri doesn’t, announcements at 5:00 pm on Tuesday, Bill Stewart (God Rest Him) stating we would be in SEC, Ollie Luck, Micky F, etc…..

Im strait forward now, I did miss those times. It was fun.

Looks like the SEC is going to blow up the Big12. Waiting to see if the BIG tries to blow up the ACC. If the BIG could pull in Clemson and Fla State, the ACC would not be so smug. Maybe the SEC wants to get even bigger Since they will have two schools from Texas, why not two schools from Florida, Two from South Carolina? Two 10 team divisions? Intradivision championship? Money would be stupid large. Well, back to the shadows to watch and see what happens.

I'm not that surprised about this. I never felt the Big 12 was going to be a long term solution. Outside of the money this was never an ideal situation. I think will be fine. We have always found a way to land on our feet.
