[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129502631, member: 1428007"] WVU is trying to schedule up OOC. In a year when they don't play a Texas or OU, they could play a PSU or VT or Pitt or other attractive non con opponent. There's nothing wrong with the BIG 12 or the teams in it, but it seems much better to have a better chance at more wins and participating in championships- and more importantly to continue to be able to play these types of schools than to risk not being in a major conference so that for a few more years everyone can play everyone else. Also don't understand the disdain for schools like UConn, Cincy etc, when WVU was playing these teams just several seasons ago and wasn't always beating them either. cIncinnati had some particularly strong teams back then and the fans didn't seem to mind attending games in Morgantown or Cincinnati, but now it would be the end of the world? Don't get that at all. [/QUOTE]
