[QUOTE="steeleer, post: 129610179, member: 1484359"] There are really only 3 ways this goes as best as I can tell. 1) Nothing happens. No expansion. No GOR extension. At that point the B12 is dead man walking and we'll have 10 years to sell our program to someone. We lack TV's, but we are geographically continuous with 3 of the 4 remaining conferences (ACC, B10, SEC) if the B12 folds. Or we can scrape together a "new" B12 with what's left over. The networks likely won't want the later (another mouth to feed) and would likely act as the agent to get us into something better. 2) Expansion with WVU friendly teams (IMO Cinci and/or UCF) with GOR extension. Yay!! 20 years of security and we aren't on an island anymore. I don't feel this happens without a GOR extension since I feel getting one of these teams would appease everyone in the B12 (as long as UH is in the mix for UT apparently). 3) Expansion with WVU unfriendly teams (Houston, BYU, CSU, etc type teams only). I don't know if WVU agrees to a GOR extension in this case. If so, then it is what it is. If not....see #1. I do think WVU isn't UT or OK, but I think moving as a single entity will allow our potential new conference the flexibility of using us to plug and play without dealing with the political baggage that most of the B12 teams do. Does UT have the ability to move without Baylor and TTech and TCU? Can OK move without OKSt? Plus we have worked with most of the SEC teams over the past decade in scheduling which does help if the crap hits the fan. Iowa State has one option and IOWa wants nothing to do with them in the B10. Kansas would be B10 or bust as well. I really think WVU fans can just sit back and watch the show. We'll be alright.
