That's not the point. Where will WVU be in a dozen years? It's more speculation.

WVU will be in a power conference in 12 years. They will be in one 25 years from now.

I wasn't trying to bust your balls. I was assuming you would say Big 12, SEC or ACC, not the B1G.

Many won’t relieve it but WVU could commit to AAU status.

I went there from '88-'93 and like to hear things like that. Academics are often forgotten. ME: Wow! Who knew that coal and moonshine could bring that much money to the university? The B1G really missed the boat on that one! ;) On a more interesting note, according to Land Thieves, Boren in an interview with Sooner Sports said that he would like to see the Big 12 go back to 12 teams again and that he wanted to bring Louisville into that conference.
