This doesn't sound like the best thing for WVU. "IF" this were to happen schools close to recruiting hotbeds would benefit greatly.

Mapping the fallout: Will recruiting become more regionalized in wake of coronavirus?
- Thread starter Vernon
- Start date
I have seen a few people say this with football
But haven't seen actual proof in terms of recruits committing or decommitting.
Could help USC I guess. They were tied up last year with everyone raiding the West Coast.

smaller attendance. declining student interest. regional recruiting. budget tightening. ESPN becomes even more powerful because of dollars...which will shrink.
This has to do with recruiting
In terms of ESPN.
Think of it this way.
If I have a product and have to go with a distributor wouldn't I as a business find a way to push the distributor out of the way.
This is what ESPN feels about the cable and satellite companies and why some of them are moving towards exclusive content they already know some of these companies like ESPN are looking to deliver their product straight to the consumer.
But sports are different because Comcast isn't available in every market.
But DirectTV is or even AT&T TV
So there always competition with ESPN. You have FOX and other companies.
Money is always going to be there.

From a POV of WVU.
They are superior to Marshall not because of the media or the conference but because they are the flagship university in the state of West Virginia.
College sports will never devolve back to the level where they are on an equal playing field.
Each university even without big media has $$$$. This money comes from boosters and local advertising.
This will never change. This has been with college sports for 125 years.

If you cannot admit the obvious that is on you.
Called reality. What caused WVU to be a P5 school hasn't changed.
What caused Marshall to be a doormat hasn't changed
Until that changes you will always have the current roles in the state.

TVZ...the poster who lives in a narrow band of land somewhere in the mountains between Morgantown and Huntington WV but pretends to be a "wisedom speaker" from somewhere down in the lone star state. Sometimes called Pride but never called correct.
You can live on the Moon and understand...
One university has a huge advantage over the other and this will never change.
Instead of trying to bring WVU to your level Marshall fans should be trying to reach the level of WVU or just become a fan of the flagship university in their state

And why do you Saghorn insist on comparing wvu and marshall? Did both of these schools not accept you before you paid your tuition fee to Mr. Jiggles Online Clown College?
You sit here and pray and hope for the downfall of college sports.
Have to ask yourself why.
Do you really think that would cause them to be on the same level.
Hate to tell you it won't.
Doesn't take much to Google what happens when WVU played them.
They established themselves as the dominant program in the state a long time ago. Record wise, fan wise and money wise.
