a guy that works for me out in lubbock took this picture outside of his house last week during the dust storm. WV fans, THIS is what you have to look forward to. Enjoy

Just a ploy by the Big-12 to get the SEC to back off on Mizzou. Mizzou is obviously the more attractive school of the two (AAU member, legtitimate media markets, etc.) and the Big-12 is trying to keep them by forcing the SEC to choose, and by takin away a potential #15/16 member.
It won't work. Slive could take Mizzou and then turn around and offer WVU and still get them, too. The Big-12 is almost pathetic in its weakness.

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, SMU then travel considerations went out the window).
Oklahoma - 8 BCS appearances
Texas - 4 BCS appearances
WVU - 2 BCS appearances
TCU - 2 BCS appearances
Kansas - 1 BCS appearance
Kansas St - 1 BCS appearance
Look for Big 12 to expand by two more by 2014 with two from the list below...
Louisville
BYU
Cincy
Boise St
Air Force
South Florida
Tulane
Houston
SMU
Next dominos by December 1st or sooner...
1 - Mizzou to SEC, WVU to Big12
2 - Notre Dame (what to do now?)
3 - Big East expansion? (I expect them to add all three military academies when WVU leaves to get back to 8 teams)
2012...
1) SEC raiding ACC for two more teams?
2) ACC grabs UConn and Rutgers if SEC raids
3) BIG finally gets Notre Dame in all sports...needs one more to be even
4) Big 12 expansion with a conference championship game at Jerry's world
2016...
1) Does the Big 12 stay together if they don't expand to 12?
2) PAC expansion?
3) Playoff?

WV to Austin and Lubbock sure is a long way
Better than making the circuit through the entire Big East/MWC/CUSA/YMCA/NAFTA conglomeration that is being contemplated.

That's longer than the Big East has left, it appears.

So WVU fans, is this like winning a silver medal?

as long as they're off the sinking ship that is the BE you gotta figure they're happy.

Kind of. I'm very happy with the move, but by no means is it a permanent one. I don't see us being there very long. Will be nice seeing some new faces in Motown though. Just glad to be the hell out of the Big East.

About what I thought, and I can't really argue with you.
The Titanic's going to sink sooner or later and it's better to have a seat on a lifeboat than to sit there re-arranging the deck chairs with UCONN and Rutgers.

Bronze, but I have no problem with a nice shiny bronze.

Too bad fricking Colorado had to leave the Big XII. I live in Colorado, would've loved to see WVU out here again every other year maybe.

There really is no reason to go to 16 teams for any conference as you ruin basically any relationship between divisions. It gets to the point where it is like having basically two old conferences play a post season game against each other before bowl season.
Hopefully the conferences max out at 14. That still can give you 6 division opponents, up to like 3 division opponents, and like 3 more OOC games. It would probably limit a NC team from playing more than 14-15 games a season.
