isn't WVU to the Big12 already a done deal?

Yes. Pitt and Cuse will probably stick around for 2 years instead of paying a higher buyout.

I don't think the Big East is locked into the Orange Bowl. Just the ACC

This is true. WVU has a great rep for traveling to bowl games so we may be a better draw than TCU. But if Okie Lite jumps to #2, I want no part of Bama in the Sugar Bowl.

:doublebird: frick you Big East

And now WV you can see how the Big XII works.

Seems like the hold-ups are you and Louisville.

USCw - Will feel the scholarship reductions, ask Bama.
Oregon - Is good but they stumble every year.
Stanford - What happens after Luck?

O$U - LOL
Michigan - LOL
PSU - LOL
Michigan St. - ?
Wisconsin - TCU

I would agree to disagree with that statement. I think the B1G has that title now, but in the shake up I don't think it really matters.

---

B1G? Really? If you said the Pac12 you could have had an argument. But I would have thought the SEC would realize more than anybody how much the B1G is overrated.

But you're right, in the end it doesn't matter. All that matters is not being the weakest BCS conference left when it's all said and done. Hoepfully the SEC can strike the death blow to the ACC and grab FSU/Clemson/VT and the natural progression towards 4 power conferences can start.

I promise you Mizzou would get picked up by a conference. They won't remain INDEPENDENT like WVU did in the past.

---

You do realize all the Eastern teams were independent up until the 80s, right?

It's been reported that if WVU wanted to leave the BE for the 2012 season, the buyout was negotiated to be around $20mil. Not too bad, WVU was already prepared to pay that if we ended up with the SEC invite. I think the ball's in Mizzou's court right now as to whether or not they are leaving for the SEC right away.

quote:

---

There are two kinds of people;

those that thinking being in a better conference would make them better

and those that think being in a better conference would make them worse

it is an argument that can not be won by either side. Time will tell.

---

I think no matter if WVU or Mizzou become #14, either one will see an initial recruiting bump. Two teams who already recruit decently to begin with now getting a chance to play in the best conference. It just depends on whether they would be able to keep it up or not by winning some big games and staying relevant in the SEC.

We don't give a shite, we're not trying to frick. We just want to hang out and drink with the guys.
