re: WVU was a much better fit than Missouri

thats what i figured...seemed like i remembered some complaint about their baseball program, but figured surely that wasn't the deal breaker.

I really think that West Virginia's appeal in markets outside of West Virginia, most notably Pittsburgh and Washington DC, has been underrated and overlooked in this process.

Here in DC, if you had to rely on local media for your college sports information, you'd barely know the SEC even exists. Whatever conference WVU is in will get covered here and included on the local cable sports packages, have syndicated stations broadcasting their games, etc., particularly if the Big East falls apart. It's sad to see that the Big XII will be that conference, and not the SEC.
