    Wvu & sec?

    We can only hope WVU is the 14th team in the SEC, following the news that Pitt and Syracuse are bolting to the ACC.

        The basketball-only schools, Georgetown, Providence, DePaul etc., will keep playing. That was always the conference's biggest problem--no unity.

          You can't blame WVU & PITT though... they will be able to make just as much money playing an away game, as they would a home game.

          They'll also expand their recruiting presence throughout the county, specifically the south, giving them a larger pool of student/athletes to choose from. It will be a big move for both schools.

                If big 10 won't take wvu because of academic standards how does chris carter's kid get in, just to mention one of many osu players who have been let go after one yr due to academic reasons. i'd rather see wvu in the sec , better conference.

                  Chris Carter's kid is gone, and I guess I typed that wrong. It's really not academic standards but the Big Ten want there members schools to be a member of some Academic group. Sorry I can't remember the name. This is also the same reason the Big Ten won't allow OK St. in which ruins the chance for OK to join.

                      When ESPN Game Day comes to Morgantown this Saturday,
                      Look for WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck to make a SEC announcement.
                      Just a hunch, and a little birdie told me.

                        When these teams leave the Big East, the Big Ten may have just gained another member. Notre Dame will be forced to join a conference., which I think will be the Big Ten. IMO, it's about time.

                          SEC all the way, I just hope we can keep the contract with Pitt for the Brawl.

                            The Big Ten needs ND, they need another slow overrated team.

                              ND won't join a conference they just can't regionalize themselves like that. ND will be in coalition with byu, Texas and some other conference left overs but they have to be able to play USC, Stanford, mich st and navy every year.
