[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129453120, member: 1428007"] The attendance in Charleston is better than most games in Morgantown. WVU isn't losing money on the game, in fact they probably make money on it--especially when its on national tv-which undoubtedly it would be more often if WVU didn't usually block that from happening. No one said anything about it doesn't matter who is played as long as WVU does well in March. That is absurd and you just made that up. What was said is that WVU isn't just playing a sometimes low RPI Marshall--they play other low RPI teams as well and it has not affected them at all in being able to get as far as the sweet 16. Pretending that playing Marshall is going to stop WVU from being able to do well in any season is just not true. Your statement on every team that WVU plays is just not true--every team has a strong RPI--really? So your claim is WVU does not play any other teams that have low RPIs? It is not true in ANY season. What the H does having hired WV guys have to do with anything? Unless you are claiming that all the other schools WVU plays non con or in con have WVU ties? Not sure what the point is there. MU's head coach has ties to WV-he is a native WVian. His brother played at Marshall which last time I checked is IN WV and he was also born in WV. Still have no idea what that has to do with anything. WVU always plays games in Charleston so again, not sure how a neutral site game in Charleston is any different? I mean its nice and all WVU tries to play games against people Huggins has a relationship with--but nobody takes that into account when placing teams in rankings or in the NCAA tournament. Its a silly argument because one game against MU doesn't affect any of that. [/QUOTE]
