Yes they are giving the conf a big , but not so much to the other football programs who are trying to leave just like they did. The big and kissoff is directed at the nimrods in Providence who have been running this basketabll league to the detriment of D1 football for the past 30 years.Wow, WVU really giving the remaining BE football schools a big . Surprised but not shocked. This BCS **** has turned academic types into stone cold, cut throat mercenaries.
I can't blame the departing schools advocating for themselves, but their action is impacting everyone and it could be argued it could have a greater impact on the football universities.
There are better options and worse options, and forcing Cuse, Pitt and WV to stay 27 months is the best option. Expect the B12 conference to threaten to take 3 BE teams unless the BE lets WV go. I would tell them go ahead. The conference is dead without WV anyways. If the B12 can't get WV next year they take BYU.
