If they were in the conference right now, they'd be above average football-wise, even contend for a conference championship once a decade.

Same with basketball. They are no Duke or UNC but their program is good enough to get into the tourney most years.

They'd be a perfect fit for the ACC. I'd wager the ACC, if they could, would dump wake forest for WVU in a heartbeat.

I feel like they tried already and the ACC said no.

Yea cause academics at WVU aren’t a big deal like at most ACC schools

Tech is probably tied to Texas.

The fact is the ACC doesn't need any footprint in Texas as they have been doing good recently. It is the PAC that is desperate with a shitty network that doesn't make near the money they expected.

I could see the PAC being so desperate as to outright merge with the Big 12, maybe by excluding programs from both current conferences.

My bad. I meant to say Texas Tech. They’re too good for G5. They’re no Power 5 blue blood but at the same time they’re better than G5.. I guess American would fit them well. They’d pick up a rivalry with SMU and U of H quickly.

Yeah, I think the most logical spot for Tech is the pac-12. I'd be shocked if the pac-12 accepted another religious school though(tcu, baylor).

Pac-12 is kind of a weird half-breed of SEC/Big10 with academics. They have some top schools(like standford) and some glorified high schools like arizona state. I'm not sure how much pressure there would be to only accept AAU universities(texas is one, tech is not).

Good point. The PAC might go after OU OSU Texas and TCU. That would be something

Nice arse though. But with that impish mouth I have to ask.. what dat mouf do

OU and OSU will never be invited to the SEC if A&M, Arkansas and Mizzou have any say.

Well I can safely goodbye to any hard ons for the next few days. Thanks for that Harry.
