Message: [QUOTE="Ldandy, post: 1568437, member: 4584"] Yup. ESPN buys the ACC lock, stock and barrel, but is OK with The B1G and SEC tearing it apart? Its suddenly more important to protect a conference with 8 of its 10 members located in 3 states, with the other two states covered being Iowa and WV? LOL. This is bad even by Mh3 standards. I'll sum this up for everyone. Texas is the king of The Big 12. They make a * ton of money on The Longhorn Network. There is zero scenario where they are not better or at least even if The Big 12 implodes. They aren't going to do *. Everything The Dood or MH3 write are fantasies to make themselves feel better about WVU's Situation. The Neers are not a king of college football like these fools believe. They are lucky to be a jester in King Bevo's court. They rode a run of historical program success, all achieved in a down conference, to secure an invite from a different conference that was in desperate need for schools with a football pulse. The Big 12 royally screwed up when they passed on pursuing Cincy and Lville along with WVU. They could have went to 12, added some decent football and basketball, all while opening up another region for the conference. Predictably they took the path of least resistance and created a ridiculous island upon which WVU sits. JMO but given the chance the conference members would cut WVU loose and add Houston, CSU, or some other regional program. They exist as a conference as long as Bevo says so. No one has leverage over The Horns. Their future is paved with gold wherever they go. The rank and file fall in line behind them because they know that their options are incredibly limited should the big baby take its ball and go home. [/QUOTE]
