Social media is a huge reason why OU/UT are in the SEC now. The relentless decade plus long 24/7 365 attack on the BIG 12 conference worked, just as I said it would if people didn't do something about it. They didn't and now we see the results. Went up the foodchain from the fans to boosters to administrators to decision makers and then decisions were made based on the created opinion.
Texas and Oklahoma are in the sec because its a superior conference and you can make more money. Everyone can see that you failed economics
UT and OU were already earning as much or more from the BIG 12 as their counterparts in the SEC and the BIG 12 was set to gain 45-65% increases per experts that advise ESPN, the NFL and four of the five P5 conferences at the same time the SEC would be getting their increases.
Texas and Oklahoma are going to make at least 20% more. If they were going to make less in the sec they wouldn't haver gone.
Greg its all about money. Texas and Oklahoma are going to make more in the sec than they could in the big 12. Its as simple as that. Everyone with any sense knew this. Bucknut has spent the better half of the last decade wielding his big 12 is great propaganda to the point it has warped his mind. He is in denial that everything that he was told about the big 12 actually turned out to be true.
Everybody that wants wvu to succeed should be hoping it ends up in another conference. The big 12 was never gonna last and everyone knew it. The conference has been a revolving door since it began operation back in 1996.
That's not what I asked, so answer my question; and everyone already knows we want to end up in a P4 conference.
You'll be waiting for a long time for an answer. Same as we do with clown boy TVZ.
What team do you root for? If you want to remain in the great 8 its obviously not wvu.
Of course WVU, and your second sentence is absent minded.
You of all people asking someone else who they root for? Who do YOU root for?
Everyone except for of course, the nation, the BIG 12, Big Ten, ACC, PAC, the media etc. etc.
The networks want to get rid of the big 12. Half of the founding members jumped ship. It should tell you all you need to know.
Anyone who hopes wvu finds another home outside of the awful Big 12 is a true fan unlike you.
Why would WVU move to the PAC 12?
Don't believe everything that you hear on the Statewide Sportsline. Rankings of national universities for 2021:
Hmmm wonder what their ranking was when invited?
Found it myself...
That would be my thinking. But actually ACC invited Louisville because they knew the Big 12 would eventually invite UL. This was the 2nd major blow up side the head of Big 12-2-2=8. First one was loss of Texas A&M and Missouri. Nebraska and Colorado were not a huge loss.
How could you know this and not know that UT and OK had been in the process of going to the SEC for several months? I mean, you leave no wiggle room with your statement as if it is provable fact.
What is interesting is that before UL joined the Big East they were like 100 spots below WVU in the fake US News academic rankings. Now that all those ACC schools are voting them up, they've moved way ahead of WVU in just a few years.
You're just spewing propaganda, as usual. As Allen posted, Louisville's ranking has actually fallen recently, but it's still much higher than WVU's. Posting puff pieces on a message board isn't going to change anything, no matter how much you have convinced yourself otherwise.
No conference official has even mentioned wvu. I know you're a clueless homer but stop being such a dork. You're beginning to sound like some of the ither juveniles on this board.
No, I'm not. You are talking just recently. I'm talking about Louisville prior to joining the Big East to Louisville joining the ACC to now. Louisville wasn't ranked anywhere near 176 back in 2005, or at the end of the Big East--but once they joined the ACC their rankings shot up.
