They are attempting to do the unthinkable.
We will see. About to open a whole new level of hate in the Big 12.
KU fans are weird.

All the schools center around them and their state.

Texas is a **** show.

With 12 team playoffs around the corner will big 12 still implode?

I‘m not sure what the end game is Allen but Texas has held the growth and brand expansion of the Big12 back for a long time. Obviously money drives the bus but you would think the stability of the conference would hold some value. Texas just doesn’t care about their conference partners. I think the Big12 has a geopolitic need if nothing else. It has lots of tradition with two power house programs to market a brand. I believe Big12 survives. Personally I wish there would be 4 Super Conferences allowing WVU/Pitt to resurrect their glorious rivalry and partnership. Both programs are better with each other. As I’ve said to PItt Trustees, Admin, Lair members and anyone that would listen Pitt should eliminate all athletic relationships in all sports with Penn State and go arm and arm with WVU in all sports forever.

My favorite point in the article.

Is Texas back?​

We have been able to ask this question every year since 2010.


It's the Brown curse.

I'd say this is a lesser degree of i.e. the Big Ten changing its rules for participation in the Big Ten CCG last year when before that, Ohio State didn't meet the necessary requirements or the acc changing its CCG participant last year to have the top two teams make it in (with ND being a one and done member) in place of division winners.

Texas is more important for WVU than Pitt.
Don’t need Pitt. You sound desperate trying to hang onto something that doesn’t really exist.
More than that you talk about brand expansion and depending on somebody.
Pitt doesn’t provide ****. Left WVU as a small regional school.
Big 12 provides it a lot bigger stage.

WVU needs to go around steamrolling these schools
Good thing VA Tech hasn’t been good. Dangerous game. We will see
WVU has to establish itself as a superior program than all of you.

I get you’re smug and literally can’t communicate but I was posting about the Pitt/WVU relationship both in its traditions and in its importance. I was talking about Texas hurting the the Big12 brand by being so selfish. Had nothing to do with Pitt you fvckin moron. You post in broken English and are so insecure you communicate arrogantly. This will be my last response to directly in this thread because you are too moronic to have a discussion with. So have at it turd 💩

Pitt hurts WVUs brand…
Do you understand. That getting WVU in the Pittsburgh market isn’t that important anymore.
World has expanded

Social media activity says another
When WVU being talked about the most was after their win in Austin a few years ago.
Most people remember that game.
Especially in this fanbase as well.
It's The freaking fan base dumbass. They're suppose to remember.

Wvu and the Fake12 conference was an arraigned wedding of convenience. It will never be an easy road for the Mountaineers.

That is life
You make the most of it
No reason to sit on here and talk about it over and over.
Especially coming from Marshall fans. Your asses are in the same spot. In a Texas conference

Top 3 in every major sport
Football is debatable every year. In the current #3 pushing towards #2

Basketball it is the #1 conference right now. No other conference has 60% of their conference as possible Sweet 16 teams

Baseball have a team that goes deep every year. Always #2 or #3. Finished #2 in the RPI this past year

SEC is the only conference that can say that but they are in and out of the top 3 in basketball

Unless of course they had more quality teams.
Great platform for WVU. On ESPNU right now they are showing a game from last year with OU.
Will have a bunch of quality games. 6 against Top 10 competition

Percentages cause games against good teams at least twice a week.

Also causes these coaches to coach against a Final 4 level coach
Even with 2 Final 4 coaches leaving you still have 6 Final 4 coaches.
Doing something correct if you make it to the Final 4.
Bob Huggins will tell you himself because of that it the toughest conference he has ever coached in.

Those coaches who haven’t made it that far work their asses off because of that as well.
Scott Drew was that coach before last year

Stupid troll.
As of right now WVU is making more money than they would if they went to the ACC

Fact is we don’t have any idea what happens with the ACC same as the Big 12.
Both conferences have issues. So nothing wrong with funneling additional money into WVU athletics.

Same clown who promotes the OC at UL Monroe as the greatest coach in CFB.
Either he knows more than all of CFB or there is a reason why RichRod is the OC at a G5 school.

B12 had a choice. WVU or Lvlle.

LOL. Funny. Anyway remember when the homers here thought N.D., Clemson and FSU were coming to save the Big12 from being the red headed step child conference stuck at 10 teams? Remember when Big12 stubbled and bubbled it’s way through expansion only to find out that they couldn’t expand with legit programs so they scrapped the entire idea of expansion 😂? Remember 😂? Now there are handles talking about USC coming to save the league 😂.

Greggor is one of those Pitt fans who talked **** to Penn State about not being in the Big East😂

More than that any school who tries to attach themselves to the conference isn’t winning anything
