[QUOTE="Pitt4Life34, post: 131746547, member: 1068868"] Cool beans! Congrats on what appears to be a great life and true success story. Actually you seem like a solid dude if all is true. If you make your way to Pittsburgh for the Pitt/WVU game next it’d be great to meet you. I’m a red guy and lean towards Cabs. You seem to think you are much smarter or better at creating an efficient expansion model than conference ADs are. It seems, historically, they disrespect your data-modeling priorities. You may not like hearing that but obviously you have no idea what drives these conference decision. Any Tom, Dick or Harry can gather data. You know the saying, ”so easy a caveman can do it”. It‘s the talent in the room that makes the tough decisions with success and failure on the line. It can be argued that the Big12 was doomed because they added WVU and TCU. Appears obviously Big12 didn’t add the right pieces. Obviously adding WVU didn’t save the inevitable implosion of the Big12. So again what you deem strengths for WVU at the end doesn’t move the needle. Good chatting with ya but I have little doubt in my mind your priorities are irrelevant. WVUs expansion history easily leads me to that conclusion. ACCept my advice and enjoy your weekend. [/QUOTE]
