Oliver Luck influence is greatly unappreciated or understood in WV. Without him, we’re probably still in the AAC. Maybe the ACC finally comes calling, hard to say. And before anyone piles on, yes, I agree Nehlen, Rod, Lewis, Etc all played a part in shaping our history that sold it

He got us in the door. He also asked Don Nehlen to speak to the conference commissioner on WVU behalf and why they would fit into Big 12. Then our politicians got involved when OU wanted to back door us with Louisville.

Yes, many will not like this truth, but Joe Manchin played a significant role. Mitch McConnell was working hard to get the Big12 to reconsider Louisville over WVU and Manchin stepped up. Many people played a role. We should all be thankful.
