Love the Big 12 but not for us. Give me the ACC where we could dominate those overrated football schools.
I hope we would do better than we did against that 8-4 unranked Miami team we played.Love the Big 12 but not for us. Give me the ACC where we could dominate those overrated football schools.
We would of had maybe 7 wins in the ACC last season. We couldnt even compete with Miami.I hope we would do better than we did against that 8-4 unranked Miami team we played.
Reality check: ACC has turned up its nose to letting WVU join its snooty club THREE times already. SEC and Big 10 also has passed. What makes you think any of these 3 conferences would allow we "hillbillies" into their treehouse this time? I'm just glad that Oliver Luck got us into the Big 12 because otherwise we would be in the glorious American Athletic Conference or Conference USA. I think one of those nothing leagues includes Marshall but it's too unimportant to check.The ACC had their chance and failed. So "if" a realignment happens after 2025 I believe West Virginia University would be approached by the SEC then the BIG 10. IMO

SEC would be the choice if that choice ever come up. WVU is a better fit for the SEC than several of the schools that are already in the SEC. WVU, KY an TN should be playing each other. Besides the SEC playing in Morgantown would help WVU and SEC recruiting.The ACC had their chance and failed.

this guy makes a good point in that other conferences will probably look at WVU as being a "Louisville Clone".....excellent athlete programs and a mediocre academic ranking.
IRWT, good points. Plus, we are the only school out there that might be interested in the ACC that is winning 10 in football and 28 in hoops that is already having that success in a P5 conference. Whether Cincy and UConn and others can do that well in a P5 conference is pure conjecture. We are sure thing! The college world has already seen us do it....We have an advantage in the "all things being equal" department over most competitors because we bring elite level basketball as a kicker. We also are contiguous w/ all three conferences which doesnt hurt. The only way I dont see us getting into the SEC is if there is a (likely) mandate from Oklahoma legislature that OU and OSU are a package deal. Ideally, I would like to see UT, OU and OSU in the Pac 12 to clear the deck for ACC/SEC.
I know and its sad that someone would take a shot at the Acc when our 10 win team could'nt beat and 8 win team out of that conference.We would of had maybe 7 wins in the ACC last season. We couldnt even compete with Miami.
If Wvu wants a chance in the Big 10 or Sec it needs to step it up in football. Going better than 7-5 only once every 5 years isn't going to cut it in those leaguesThe ACC had their chance and failed.

There are more former rivals of Wvu in the Acc than any other conference. If wvu can only do better than 7-5 once every 5 years in the Big 12 what would make you think they would exceed that In the Sec.SEC would be the choice if that choice ever come up.

They are also in big television markets and that's what the Big 10 wanted when they added them.Well, the big 10 just added rutgers and maryland so that's not exactly true.
I agree with the Majority of your post. The ACC snub was much discussed on this board. So I remember the arrogance that a few of the ACC institutions showed when FSU and a couple others supported WVU joining.
As for the SEC we have a big WVU advocate in Nick Saban and Alabama. The BIG 10 I suggested just for the helluva it lol
Mizzu being in the SEC East does not make a lick of sense. If anything, I expect two eastern teams are asked to join the SEC...us and Florida State.I agree with the Majority of your post.

Where is Buckanieer? I can't believe someone beat him to this.

Greg.... ...you don't even realize that you embarrass yourself (or should at least feel that way) each time you click, 'Post Reply'.
Your attempts at insults are both juvenile and pathetic...and when you may have a valid opinion you ruin it by the manner you express yourself.
Review your posts... ...and tell me if you think they're clever, insightful, or even entertaining. If you think they are...you're understandably funny....just not in the manner that you were hoping.
I think he is still in Hiding. He did way to much smack talking during the 1st weekend of the tourney. When things went south in the sweet 16 he went into hiding. He's afraid to take his medicine.I heard he needed a towel to wipe himself down after he heard the news. He hasn't been seen since noon on Friday. Godspeed Buckhead! Good luck!
...by the way... ..why are you so much of a coward that you don't use the alias here that you post on your 'main board' with...?

Greg.. ...read your last few posts again.
Do you really think they're funny or insulting?
Don't live in the past. Look forward!!! Your last post doesn't even make sense.
