So first they were rejected, then they were told to wait, and now they're back to being rejected?

Fine by me.

Both conferences? This is hard to believe. I wonder how reliable those tweets are.

Lots of information and mis-information floating around, but I really hope this one is true.

Can we get a link? Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see it on his twitter page.

ETA: Just now loaded for me.

i would still be surprised that any school formally applied to a conference without prior talks that made it a mere formality.

from everything we have seen. WVU formally applied to the SEC.

something is not adding up

Seems to me like they saw the Big East falling apart and figured they'd take a shot in the dark and apply to the ACC and SEC.

The SEC i believe. The ACC I don't. Solid football & basketball teams. Good fit within the ACC imo.

ACC doesnt like their academics, SEC doesnt like their lack of TV sets

well, the ACC commish said that 10 schools had applied to the ACC. I am guessing that things are frantic right now.

If there is substance to these tweets, then you're right - something is rotten in Denmark. Haha.

It is hard to believe that WVU would formally apply to the ACC knowing where they ranked in the pecking order for that league. Why would they set themselves up for embarrassment?

Yep, this stuff goes back and forth so much, nothing is worth believing until it's final.

I tend to agree with you. It makes sense for a school to contact other conferences, but I would think they would not submit actual applications unless they were very sure they would be accepted.
