[QUOTE="skygusty_rivals, post: 129610197, member: 1500287"] Academically, unless WVU radically shifts its admission stance and achieves a vastly improved academic rating, the Big10 isn't even going to answer the phone. The ACC has already said no six or seven times - I'd rate our chances there as slim to none. The SEC might have a slot for us, by far the best odds but not highly likely. To put it another way, if those conferences WANTED WVU, we would already be in one of those conferences.. Most of us fans don't have much choice but to sit back and watch the show. I personally think the odds favor a Big12 in ten years without Oklahoma. Hard to tell about Texas and what they will perceive as their self-interest in 10 years. If they both leave, they don't get to take the conference name away when they go. That might be worth a few bucks, and the path will be clear to add Cincy and Memphis and UCONN and ECU and whoever is left around at that point. In ten years I may not be able to remember my own name so I am going to try and enjoy things while I can. [/QUOTE]
