[QUOTE="HurdyGurdyEer, post: 129288526, member: 1746848"] Just to further clarify things .... both Oliver Luck and Jim Clements spoke publicly about working the phones and exploring the possibilities for WVU in the conference realignment game. They made it very clear they were looking into other options. There was NEVER a word spoken about the B12 being our first option. But once the inquiries were made the only immediate options that WVU had were 1) the B12, and 2) wait and see what happens (with conferences that were already spurning them). Ollie and Clements decided that WVU could not risk #2 (wait and see) and jumped on #1. That is when the B12 became our #1 option. Maybe we later get into the ACC instead of Louisville. Maybe we don't. A bird in the hand (B12) is worth more than two in the bush (all other possibilities). The B12 became our #1 option when it was our only real option. [/QUOTE]
