West Virginia To Replace Mizzou In Big 12?

The Big 12 is saying they're going to replace Missouri's spot in the conference rather quickly and at the top of their list is West Virginia. A high-level Big 12 school administrator said...

“I think that’s accurate,” “I’d say West Virginia is the leader in the clubhouse. I think we’ll come out better than before. I’d rather be with someone who wants to be with our conference than anybody who doesn’t.” “West Virginia has better football than Missouri, better basketball than Missouri, a better budget than Missouri and more passion among its fans than Missouri. They’re better, anyway you turn ‘em. The travel’s not good (to Morgantown, W. Va) but that’s it.”

“The only place where there’s an advantage for West Virginia is better football,” “Their academics is not as strong. If there’s any thought about what’s best for the student-athlete, we’ll go with Louisville.”
