[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 132013622, member: 1428007"] The SEC isnt kicking out Kentucky, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi State. They arent going to kick out Texas which hasnt joined or the only occassionally successful squads like Florida Or Tennessee or Auburn. So there isnt going to be an “ NFL lite”. Alabama and Ohio State arent going to become also rans by bulking up their schedules to the point they lose more than win either. They need the Minnesotas and Iowas and Purdues, Northwestern s and Indianas and Illinois and Rutgers and UMds so they can win alot of games and beat their chests. But there is definitely a chance that the Big Ten decides to grow again and the acc adds if it can get ND in or the PAC realizes they arent very competitve and make less than just about everyone and to do better they need to bring in more schools. So WVU is in a very bad spot. Percieved small tv market and population base along with poor academic rep compared to peers and top it off with consistently bad football under Brown and Huggins trying to Bobby Knight everyone and WVU is flailing at the worst possible time.
