re: WVU was a much better fit than Missouri

so now b/c Missouri is getting into the SEC and WVU isn't you guys are going to say the SEC should have just stayed at 12?

Concern trolling at its finest.

How about you tell us about your academics so I don't have to look. Compare them Mizzou's while you're at it since they are your competition for the last rose

These decisions have absolutely nothing to do with academics.

b/c AAU status = big time research $$$

why is this so hard for some of you to understand?

So why is Mizzou middle of the road in the SEC according to the rankings? It's big money I get that and it will be great for the SEC AAU members, but don't see where that is translating into "OMFG" academic ratings.

Ok someone did I can't find a link so I will concede. Mizzou is still getting into the SEC and WV is not. I had no opinion on WV fans on here until I saw the attacks on Mizzou here when there is no reason for them to have any animosity towards them.

---

It's called passion and desire. Personally, I would have killed a man to get into the SEC. But now that it looks like Mizzou is SEC bound and we're heading to the Big 12, I am perfectly happy. Big 12 is still the 2nd best football conference, 2nd best basketball conference, and if the Big 12 moves to divisions then we will most likely be 1 win away from a BCS game 4/5 years.

I would agree to disagree with that statement. I think the B1G has that title now, but in the shake up I don't think it really matters.
