Funny how it's a Missouri fan commenting on WVU's small stadium size. Not to defend WVU too much but WVU's stadium holds 60,000 (which I'm sure would be expanded with an SEC invite) and Missouri's holds 68,000, not a real big difference there. Nevermind WVU's stadium is far more intimate and intimidating than Missouri's stadium. As for the yankee comment, coming from a Missouri fan I have no words for that, lol.

Not that our stadium is anything to get excited about, but it holds 71k not 68k. Have also added a upper deck to the East side and will be breaking ground on a brand new south EX complex hopefully soon.

No offense to WVU. They just don't add anything.

Decent football school, very good basketball program. Nutso redneck fans.

They'd fit in, but I think the SEC is looking at North Carolina and Virginia if we go to 16

No one wants WVU in the SEC
They would really fit in much better in the B1G. Why take Maryland, which geographically is far away from anyone, and not take WVU?

I don't. Academically, they're a terrible university. They have one of the most trashy fan bases in all of American sports, and their state is a steaming pile of garbage.

They'd be a good fit and good rivals with Kentucky and Tenn. Besides, wtf are we supposed to do once the Big 12 implodes? Throw us a bone.


Morgantown is too close to that cesspool of America, Pittsburgh, for my taste.

Wow, not impressive. I'd thought they could have found a bigger flat spot to build a stadium on. That's smaller than our high school stadium.

I love their atmosphere for big games. I think they'd be a good fit for the SEC.

I love my hillbilly cousins in WV. I say bring them on. They are just classier versions of UTk fans anyway.

Tennessee doesn't need another rival. Plus, we have more in common with Carolina/SW Va than WVa...I don't see any similarities besides having a few hillbillies that make shine and dig seng.

I doubt those two would want to be in the SEC. I think WVU is a good fit myself. I always felt Mizzou was also a good fit long before they were admitted.

Probably the two best fits among major programs in the area would be UNC and Oklahoma. If we rounded out our 16 with those two teams, we would be pretty solid and dominate more of the country (population wise, at least) than any other conference
