[QUOTE="op2, post: 132084573, member: 419450"] It's not success, it's brand and name and market. That is what UNC and UCLA has that WVU hasn't. I looked it up and WVU is 72 games over .500 that last 20 years while UCLA is 7. Despite your excitement to slam HCNB's record at WVU, his 1 game under .500 record in his three years at WVU is the same as UCLA over the past 3 years. It (unfortunately) doesn't matter that WVU has had as good or better a football program than UCLA or UNC has. UNC is the flagship school in a large and growing state and it has a good academic reputation too, and UCLA is exactly the same, except you could say they're co-flagship with USC in California, but UCLA is the flagship public school. I wish I was wrong and WVU was in a better position in all this. It wouldn't surprise me if WVU ended up in the ACC but an ACC without multiple other current top ACC schools. [/QUOTE]
