A great rumbling from the North, and the Moonshine beacon is being lit (or just exploded.) Word is the Mountain folk are making a move.

Patience everyone.... THE source of all sources is reporting a done deal. Which media outlet will get the leak first?

I like how Mizzou has the same rumors at the same time. SEC to 16?

I prefer WVU over Mizzou. But that's like saying I prefer genital warts over gonorrhea.

Likelihood of an extended invite IMHO.

True. But it's easier to see WVU leaving.

The Big East has already had two defectors this year.

WVU knows the Big East's days are numbered whereas Mizzou could stick it out in the Big XII where they have a long tradition and bitter rivals (Kansas). The Big East hasn't been around long enough to have such traditions in football.

Personally, I think WVU would be a much better fit in the ACC where they would join Pitt, Va. Tech, Virginia, etc.

This may just be a case where the SEC needs a team in the East and WVU is the only one available. Probably not so different from when we added South Carolina right after we courted Florida State.

im thinking if Missouri had been in the BE they would of had more success lately then they had in the Big XII/ I think the Big XII overall is a better football and basketball conference. Not taking anything away from WVU, I was hoping to play you guys in the '07 BCS NC game

The two year we won the BCS games the BE was no where close to bad as it is now actually better than the ACC. But basketball no way in hell in the last 8 years we have a final 4, elite8 and multiple sweet 16's mizzou really can't compare.

I want WVU solely for the Calipari vs. Huggins matchups in basketball.

As an Arkansas fan, I definitely see a potential rival in Mizzou.

If WVU is 14 and Mizzou becomes 15, I can see the talks to keep the Big 12 alive disintegrating and Oklahoma becoming 16, seeing as they've already been snubbed by the Pac.
