If someone asks UConn if they want to leave the Big East, we're not checking Google Maps either.
i feel like there have been many indications lately. The issue is they can't pry who they want out of the ACC and don't seem to want any NBE/MWC or BYU. That is assuming Texas would ever even agree to letting an ACC team in. If Oliver Luck had any actual power in the Big 12 you would have to think Cinci and Lville would have been invited, but that ship has likely sailed.This article is an indicator that the 12 is standing pat.
It's an interesting "what if". If the ACC had taken UConn, would the Big 12 still be staying put or would Louisville have already been invited with someone else. It's clear Cincy does nothing to move the needle (neither does UConn it seems)i feel like there have been many indications lately.

If the B12 took Cincy and Pitt and there were no other moves, our prayers would be answered. We'd have a free pass to the ACC.Big12 will take Cincy and Pitt before they take us for West Virginia... maybe Louisville if ACC ripped apart.
WVU may have been sold a line with a timeframe for eastern expansion that has already passed.This article is an indicator that the 12 is standing pat.

Every season is a grind,” Luck admitted. “It was a grind in the Big East.”
Grind this you scumbag. Your leaving was the death note to the BE. Maybe I'll forget once UConn lands but until then i hope you lose every single game. And enjoy the extended travel home thinking of each and every loss.
While I don't agree it died in 2003, the 13 million offer from espn was proof the big east was still valuable, how anyone could be upset at wvu for forcing the issue to get out is beyond me given our current situation. They're leadership made assurances no one else would to get that big 12 slot aND paid what they had to to get out. That is called getting it done for your school.Oh please. The league died in 2003. WVU didn't even leave until they had to. WVU did nothing wrong.
I don't blame WVU for leaving. Ironically, had they stayed, they would have gone to the ACC instead of 'ville. This kind of speaks to the vision of the ACC. They should have taken WVU a long time ago.
