Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4736043, member: 71"] The WVU twitterati actually believe that there are people outside of that state who actually give a about WVU and their athletic programs. The state is poor, sparsely populated held in less than high esteem by many surrounding states. Not a good combination if you want to draw interest from power conferences. The gripes that FSU and Clemson have are [B]a[/B]) in the near term, B-12 schools will esrn more media revenue than their ACC counterparts [B]b[/B]) in a half dozen years the B-12 will be in position to take their media contract to market where they again could potentially exceed ACC revenues per school (not a guarantee but absolutely a concern) and [B]c[/B]) B-12 schools will be able to prostitute themselves to the SEC and B1G a half dozen years before ACC schools can. Neither one of these schools is going to attempt to buy their way out of the ACC's GOR just to be able to play WVU every year. I personally believe that FSU and Clemson are still kicking themselves for not jumping to the B-12 a decade ago (where they could have had a long stretch with Texas and Oklahoma as conference mates) when the offer was there. To make things worse, they also signed on to a two plus decade prison term when they decided to stay in the ACC. [/QUOTE]
