Message TheAlum beers 7164 º places 10 º 17:24 Mon 9/19/2011 But I personally only see the Big Ten jumping to 14 right now, if they are forced to expand to keep up. With the huge crushing changes to the Big East, it’s highly likely ND starts to see the walls closing in.
Message mgumby10 beers 1856 º places 47 º 17:24 Mon 9/19/2011 Rumors out there that the SEC has turned down WVU. Also rumors that they have now applied to the ACC. I’m hoping this is true as we’ve already added shitty ass Syracuse, we don’t need more shitty football schools. Would love to have Miami play the Mounties again every year. It would be cool bringing my one WVU friend to my Cane tailgate while hes wearing a coonskin cap and drinking Wittikerke.
Message TheAlum beers 7164 º places 10 º 17:25 Mon 9/19/2011 "In 2010 Perlman stated that had Nebraska not been part of the AAU, the Big Ten would likely not have invited it to become the athletic conference’s 12th member.[2]"

Message TheAlum beers 7164 º places 10 º 17:26 Mon 9/19/2011 That’s good, at least from the Big Ten’s perspective about WVU.. possibly eating up an ACC spot (Which would maybe go to Rutgers otherwise). It’s no secret the Big Ten has wanted Rutgers due to it opening up the NY market and the $$$/viewers from an alumni base there.

There never was much of a WVU/Miami rivalry because Miami won every time we met except twice. The games got really closely contested there in the early to mid-2000s. I’d love WVU to get back to playing Va. Tech too. That’s a really old rivalry.

Message hopscotch beers 11919 º places 307 º 19:31 Mon 9/19/2011 It really sucks that all of this is going on during the season. Like the athletes don’t already have enough on their minds with practice, games and classes. It’s sort of childish for these administrators not to have done this over the summer or not to wait until next summer. Heck, high school recruits are all probably wondering what the heck is going on and a lot may be rethinking their commitments when they find out their families won’t be able to see their road games unless they drive or fly 2000 miles. It’s ok that it’s all about the money, but just say so. I cringe every time I hear an AD, President or Conference Commissioner say "our number one priority is doing what’s in the best interest of the "student-athlete." Bullshit. How is it in the best interest of the student-athlete to have him fly 1500 miles for a regular season road game? Again, just say it like it is. Quit lying through your teeth. It pisses me off.
