[QUOTE="Papillion, post: 129567579, member: 1643924"] Since when has WVU been left out? Other than the 1950s when schools broke from the Southern Conf. and formed the ACC leaving WVU behind, WVU was invited into the BE and now the Big 12. You sure included WVU awfully easy with those other states that don't have the fanbase of WVU, or the close media markets like Pittsburgh and Maryland/DC area, or past success and history. I agree that even if any combination of OU and OSU or UT and TTU would leave the rest behind, the remaining schools joining with the best of the AAC wouldn't be as bad as people think. But one thing to consider, if it's true as some have said here in the past that OU can't leave without OSU or UT leaving without TTU, that then puts the OU-UT Juggernaut in a bit of a bind if the Pac-12 or SEC doesn't want those other schools that are supposed to be politically attached to OU and UT. Finally, it's really annoying when you keep typing "Big 12-2=10." What's the point? Everyone knows the name of the conference and how many schools are in it right now. [/QUOTE]
