You can't blame WVU for jumping ship...they tried to get in the ACC...they tried to get in the SEC...so they tried the Big12 and finally found mutual interest (This is by no means "settling" with the Big 12...ACC and SEC were sought first for geography; when BE considered Boise, Air Force, Houston, ...

WVU to the Big 12 makes just as much sense as the Big "East" expansion plan to invite Air Force, Boise St, Houston, SMU...travel considerations went out the window for WVU when that was brought to the table.
WVU still makes the most sense in the ACC with natural rivals vs Pitt, Syracuse, Maryland...

Tulane will have to be #11-#16 if it gets that far for the Big 12.
#10 - WVU
#11 - Louisville
#12,#13 - BYU/Cincy

Its a shame that the equal revenue A&M is going to get from the SEC won't translate to any wins.
To quote a future conversation in 5 years:
TCU grad: "Man I'm glad we moved to the Big 12. Got a shot in the Big 12 championship game and a BCS bid."
A&M grad: "Well we make more money than you...

Saying the Big East is bad at football is like saying the sky is blue.
Saying the ACC improved its football standing by adding Pitt and Cuse is like saying the sky is green.
WVU has held their own in their pitiful conference...but they do have national recognition (16th in merchandise sales an...
