While being in the SEC is definitely a step up from the BE, I would hate to have to travel a min of 500-600 miles to every away game.

Agreed. Football and Basketball would be solid additions in theory. Logistially I don't know how it would work unless there is a full blown super conference expansion.

I'd like Texas, but they wouldn't come here and they have this nasty little habit of destroying conferences they are in.

I'd love to see WVU and VT in the East and TAMU and maybe Mizzou in the west

Actually, I think WV would be a good fit for the SEC.

I'd love to see WVU in the SEC ... but geographically, it's a stretch. If the SEC expanded, which I'm not in favor of, I'd rather see teams like UVA, VaTech, UNC, Texas and TA&M brought in. Glad to match up with your team from time to time though—this Saturday should be a great game.

sorry I confused Press's first coaching job at;
"Press Maravich's first head coaching job at the college level was West Virginia Wesleyan College, 1949 1950. From there he went on to become head coach of his alma mater, Davis amp Elkins, 1950 1952. He had previously served as an assistant under Red Brown from 1947 to 1949."

Some good and funny thoughts... Might i add your former SEC commish stated he beleived WVU would be the work for the SEC.
We travel well, as you will see. We help the American worker by burning couches..

Food for thought, we are a top 5 BB program if you NCAA tournament results over the past 5 yrs. The SEC could use a little basketball help truthfully. Dont worry, Kentucky will be on NCAA violation fast lane soon.

Football, ya, i think we can play w. ANYONE in the SEC, BUT, not weekly at this point in time. That would change.

How amped up do you get when Vanderbilt, Miss St, Ky rolls into town?

We would be MY OPINION a top 4 team in any division yr 1 and would add some real spice and epic battles on BOTH the turf and hardwood.

Yes, Alabama fan, why are you commenting anyways? I think we CAN win BUT, we SHOULDNT WIN under the LIGHTS in DEATH VALLEY PERIOD! Nobody should..

I will say this, we are scared to lay our helmets on anyone. Ask Georgia or Oklahoma about that..

We should be scared of the 80K + Bayou Bangel crazy fans though! who wouldnt be?

WVU would be a middle-of-the-pack SEC team.

Worthy? Maybe. But you're somewhere in line behind most of the ACC, aTm, Texass, etc.
