[QUOTE="Rootmaster, post: 129567085, member: 1428050"] History always has relevance if people would only study it. LOL WV is not going to add a major metro market or another 20 million people within the state's borders to increase clout. If WVU was such a lock for any phase of ACC or SEC expansion (past, present, or future)...it would have happened already. They have spoken with their choices...other than WVU unfortunately.There is a reason why low population, low metro area, and low media states like WVU, Wyoming, New Mexico, Montana, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota etc end up being on the outside of the glass looking in. My point continues to be that WVU needs to work with the Big 12-2=10 to strengthen and expand that conference with, or without, Tx or Ok. A lot of schools in the AAC offer strengths that Morgantown, Ames, Lubbock, Stillwater etc do not in today's glutted communications world.Some combination of the two conferences would go a long way to stabilizing the Mountaineer athletic future whether folks egos will admit it or not.
