[QUOTE="sammyk, post: 131734609, member: 1380796"] Penn State fan here and I could see the BIG looking at WVU and here is why. 1. WVU fits geographically and has a very devoted fan base. Hell I live in NC and see a lot of silver WV stickers on cars down here so there will be TV sets involved WVU just doesnt cover WVU but also SWPA, Western Maryland, Eastern VA ect. 2. WVU can offer the BIG multiple quality sports teams. The BIG loves football but it also loves basketball and Wrestling as well. WVU is more than solid in those sports plus would it be hard for WVU to get a hockey team?? 3. WVU is the flagship University of the State. It is a Big state school and that pretty much is what the BIG is made up of. Some people say the BIG will go after Kansas because of basketball , I am not so sure because the rest of their sports are awful and brings nothing to the table. WVU will have a full stadium or arena when BIG schools comes to town Kansas will not. WVU is a much more stable grab than say Kansas or Iowa State. Plus I say there are better rivalries in the BIG for WVU. PSU, Maryland, Rutgers, Ohio State, would all have great crowds. Imagine the WVU vs Michigan game call it the Rich Rod bowl Winner gets a ton of Peperoni rolls [/QUOTE]
