and WVU can claim OOS viewers all they want but it doesnt matter
And while I agree with that sentiment as a matter of fact, I just disagree with its validity as a means of measure. It is unfortunate for WVU being in a small unpopulous state, when the majority of their viewership is out of state and that is being wholly discounted by the beancounters. Like I said, there are some unique factors at play with West Virginia as a state, primary among them the uniquely high rate of emigration.
At any rate, enjoy Missouri. It's not just WVU fans that think it's a bad choice... plenty of your own feel that way as well. SEC fans are pretty much being sold down the river for a little extra television $$$.

And now we've come full circle to disingenuous.
The very fact that WVU's argument depends, in any way, on counting fine folks in Pennsylvania means that the SEC should not happen for them, ever.

Missouri fans have sat back and waited, for the most part, while WVU fans have posted negative things about our school and our state for 2 months now on every message board and blog comment section that would allow them access.
Its enough.
Rationalize the decisions in whatever way helps you move on and enjoy life but for the love of God, move on.
You will have an opportunity to back up all the yapping your fan base has done in a conference that is light years better than the Big East. Spend a few years in that conference playing that schedule and we can revisit this discussion.
Good luck in the Big 12.

fiercey, there's absolutely nothing wrong with your defending your school. But, I don't think it's necessary. It is what it is. And, there's nothing wrong with West Virginia.
BUT, it is smaller, and has less value as a media market. And, most of the items you list are applicable to other schools as well. All states have students out of state, etc.
And, whether you think it's fair or accurate, that is apparently the way tv revenues are calculated.
