Oliver Luck of WVU gave an interview regarding WVU's transition to the Big 12.
Two things that stood out:
1. The Big 12 will expand to get WVU a geographic neighbor
"Certainly from our perspective, one would be having a neighbor that is not as far away as our nearest Big 12 opponent right now. Having a more geographic neighbor is important and having the other nine schools in the Big 12 recognize that. "
2. There is discussion about adding 7 additional years to the original six in the grants of right the teams ceded to the conference.
"The discussions on the TV side are going toward the possibility of doing a 13-year granting of rights," Luck said
I could see the Big 12 coming up with something fairly dramatic when expansion hits again.
