When does WVU leave the BIGXII?
- Thread starter Tylerite
- Start date
WVU isn't leaving the Big-12. But, you are not required to be a part of it if it bothers you so much. The door is that way ----->
Keep the faith man. Where are we going? CUSA? Play Marshall every year for the title? If you see big name teams leaving the ACC we might actually get in. It's been 70 years of no.
ACC is not my first choice, and I don't see any teams leaving the ACC. Plus I think Marshall might be picked up by the AAC.
AAC will look to Sun Belt before CUSA. The CUSA is last on anyone's list of teams. As is the MAC.
Hearing UAB and Marshall is high on the list Yes football drives this thing, but the American is also high on basketball, and the Sun Belt has no one on the basketball side worth any thing at all.
Same here. Would we love to be in the ACC? Yes ..... If it is stable. But .... IMO they are more fragile than the B12 at this point. B1G ad SEC may look to expand. None of the remaining B12 teams are as lucrative as the ACC. Fsu/Gt/Vt/Clem any 2 to SEC. UVA / UNC to B1G.
B1G will not go after p12 team. Nor would SEC. Not a fit for either. B12 is picked clean by both. Maybe ISU or KU to B1G but they covet East coast much more.
Marshall 
Delusional
AAC doesn’t want you. You are like the for sure thing. The 300 pound girl. Option # 32
You probably aren’t even top half in the CUSA

UNC, VA, GT will not leave the ACC, Clemson and FSU will not leave for the SEC
There is going to be 4 Power conferences with at least 16 teams in them. PAC, ACC, SEC, B1G
Maybe never, and it might even be a good thing. Division play is going to require a lot less travel, probably more dates to schedule against traditional rivals. ACC is still kissing ND backside. Tobacco Road still calling the shots,
That's not happening. Think La Tech, Boise, Liberty, Buffalo, WKU, UAB, Colorado State, ODU, Charlotte, Appalachian, and a few others are ahead of the list before Marshall. Their expansion is likely to be more about basketball than football this go-around. That's where they need the most help. Half the teams I mentioned are decent in both football and basketball, and many come from much, much bigger markets.
Remember what I was posting last year about G5 conferences…
They will become more regional because revenue isn’t high enough to overcome the cost of travel
You can break it down to 10/12 schools into 3 different conferences
Not sure where the MAC fits in here though
Marshall can always go back there
But if not it most likely will be Marshall, App State, Old Dominion and a few others
Not going to see the AAC move towards this huge widespread conference
Probably Southern Miss, Arkansas State and UAB

MAC is already situated well enough to be regional. Most bus to games. Remember watching Tamar Slay (and Marshall) play a game in Kalamazoo many years ago against WMU, and Marshall bussed to that game.
Can pretty much solve C-USA & Sunbelt, by simply taking the two East Division conferences of each, and the two Western Division conferences, and just doing a swap. That would solve most of the travel issues. Sunbelt can be the eastern divisions (of current C-USA/Sunbelt), and C-USA can be the west divisions of both conferences. Mostly teams from Bama, Miss, Ark, Texas, and Louisiana in the west of each conference.
If we dont start being able to compete for conference titles in the Big Letwelveski, we will find ourselves in the AAC, where we can at least be competitive perhaps. I dont personally care where we play I just want us to win games and play hard nose football like WVU always should.
Ultimately the MAC doesn’t provide the growth that the SunBelt/CUSA does
So if those conferences become regional probably would be best for Marshall to get in with those schools especially Coastal Carolina.
AAC is in the same boat as those other conferences as well now
So you create 2/3 conferences with teams from those 3 conferences
All those teams shouldn't be competing in D1 football in the first place. Now have 130 teams playing big boy football, and maybe 20 have a chance to win a future title. Really need to just get a group of actual fans, maybe a dozen posters on this forum, and reset the whole college football thing. Remove all the money, the contracts, and allow that to follow the reset. Regionalize the four conferences and have an 8 team playoff, with the four region champions playing in the final four. WVU playing in a Southwestern conference makes no sense, nor does Rutgers playing in a cornfield conference. Why on earth would a team like Florida International be playing in a division where there's zero chance of ever being a national champion?
CFB is the man in college athletics.
It has to take the best job(conference) available so it can provide for the family(athletic department)
Pretty much the engine behind college sports
D1 is FBS and FCS
I believe you are saying we should split FBS. They somewhat have with the P5 and G5. Are you saying the G5 schools should drop down to FCS level
Even then you see a gap in revenue. Missouri Valley Schools or Ohio Valley Conference isn’t bringing in the same type of revenue as the top of the G5

I wouldn't bet on it. Nobody thought UT & OU would bolt for the SEC. But the $$$ thrown at these guys is tough to pass up. Have you looked at the SEC and B1G payouts vs the ACC? Money talks.
PAC, Big 12 and ACC all have the same issues
TV ratings decide who the Big dogs are..
Not anything else
Reason why the B1G who have only won 2 NC since 2000 is still considered a major player
ACC UNC vs VA Tech
Great game with a stand-alone Friday night audience
They pumped in volume from the crowd even to make it sound like a real football game
Top 10 team on the ropes
Had everything
But not many people watched

Lol... has anyone taken more bus rides than PiT? You are a typical PiTiot, don't know when to STFU.
No power conference wants WVU, which is just another leftover. The ACC once again crushed WVU's dreams.
There are only two true power conferences, BIG and SEC. The next three in rankings are the ACC, the BIG12 and the PAC12, probably in that order, with very small differences. We are in a power conference and likely the only one we will ever be in. If a spot ever opens up in the ACC it will be because they are desperate and may no longer be an upgrade for us.
It depends on how much more we expand our Facebook presence and other social media, merchandise recognition of brand label and wins in Football and Basketball without a Championship.
Those are the most important things according to some.
I felt like it was strictly revenue generated and how much that increased a total revenue for a Conference like the ACC but meh obviously that has nothing to do with it.

Tell us exactly what WVU adds to the ACC. Only things that increase the ACCs revenue not WVUs please.
It creates matchups that people/viewers will care about. That should count for something.
