If SEC is smart, they add WVU and VT right now

- A built in, great rivalry RESTORED

-2 great fanbases who travel well

-Make their league 2 8-team divisions that ALSO make sense geographically

-Lane Stadium + our new stadium opening in 2021 are/will be terrific venues

Are you into the moonshine again?

 

[oceantide83]

I would much rather be in the SEC. Thanks Misery.

Look at the bright side: We'll get a shot at Missouri next season.

TorontoEERs................................I have come under attack recently by some of the fine folks on this here board. They don't like it when I talk about the cash grab that's going on in college football. Please send each of my detractors an extra large jug of our sweet gherkins as a peace offering. Don't send the Paperboy any.

WVU is under a grant of rights through 2025. VT is under a grant of rights through 2027. The governing boards of their schools approved these things along with teams of lawyers.

Neither school is going anywhere.

Heck, why stop their. We should apply for the NFC East. They need some teams to bolster the division. I think we should get into a bidding war between the SEC and NFL and see which one wants us more.

GOR is a contract. Contracts are made to be broken. Ask any good lawyer or CFB Head Coach.

Yeah, the SEC should grab WVU and VTech now......because the ACC and B12 would probably give us both up pretty cheap based on our recent field play.

No worries...I haven't paid the Paperboy come collection time in years...yet he keeps delivering the same propaganda daily....why is this???

You want to go 4-8 every year?

Big 12 > SEC in terms of tougher conference.

not even close.

Big 12 actually plays offense

I'm not a detractor, but I love me some sweet gherkins. Send em to Bugtussle Ridge, RFD, somewheres West of Eden.

2 extra large barrels sent skygusty way (West of Eden)...me? I am looking forward to the WV moonshine once again from the fine folks at the tailgate on Patteson for Tex Tech, especially the cinnamon stuff I had at the Maryland game...damn good! I offer up the grilled Canadian Bacon wrapped in cornmeal on a ciabatta bun in exchange...and of course, Ole Warez pickles!

The conference owns WVUs media rights besides tier 3 through 2025. WVU doesn't get them back because they change their minds. A lawsuit to try and do so would take years to be resolved and in the meantime, WVU wouldn't get any media rights revenue. This could easily get into the $100 plus million range by the time the lawsuit was resolved. On top of that $100 plus million, WVU would have to pay tens of millions more in exit fees to the BIG 12.

WVU isn't going to attempt to do anything like that and for what? The SEC can't pay them as much as they would lose to make it even a draw.

I remember first posting on a Mountaineer chat board more than 12 years ago. Back then I actually believed my posts were important.

 

[CE4WVU]

And this is where I hit the ignore button because of nonsense the OP just throws towards the wall constantly and see what sticks... CONSTANTLY! 'paper' is next on that list to get it too...

 

[VaultHunter]

Great idea.

You should give them a call

 

[CE4WVU]

And click! Just like that 'paper' goes poof with another post of ignorance in another thread.
