I wouldn't be so sure...
LINK
...having posted that link I still want WVU to go to the SEC or ACC(not going to happen unless SEC raids ACC).
FWIW, WVU will be a contender for the national championship next year. It will be the same old Big East next year and we are replacing the LSU OOC game with a home/home with FSU. Next year we are in FSU (better chance to beat them than LSU). Combine that with a preseason top 15 ranking since Geno Smith will be a Senior and you have your 2012 darkhorse national championship contender.
Yes the Big East has sucked since Miami and VTech left (nevermind BC...just like nevermind Pitt and Cuse)...but so too has Miami and VTech struggled. And don't hold the Big East against WVU...afterall we have tried (and will continue to do so) to get a spot with the big boys.

That story is linked three posts above yours. It's one person's opinion. Also, it is not fact that ESPN was involved in the defections of Syracuse and Pitt. As Mike DeCourcy puts it, "what would be ESPN's motivation? To increase the costs of their ACC contract?"
A more plausable story is that the ACC layed out several expansion scenarios and some ESPN exec told them which one looked the best. That's a far cry from it being "engineered by ESPN."
