Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 4998825, member: 1737"] C.W. Lambert@InsideTheBig12 Here's what I know about the Kansas rumor... and I discussed it before... months ago. Kansas and WVU are on the SEC's radar. Both would be more desirable - in future expansion - than ACC candidates other than CU/FSU. Nothing is imminent. Nothing could happen until 2031. C.W. Lambert@InsideTheBig12 · 31m My advice is don't worry about it. Don't get your hopes up. Don't count on it or brag about it. The Mountaineers have always been on the SEC's radar. The SEC has always thought highly of WVU football. C.W. Lambert@InsideTheBig12 · 31m The Mountaineers have been the runner-up 3 times losing out to Arkansas, South Carolina and Mizzou. Many in the SEC believe it was a mistake taking Mizzou over WVU. C.W. Lambert@InsideTheBig12 · 32m So when somebody credible tells me the SEC is looking at WVU again my first response is why? So they can break our hearts again? Leave us at the alter again? C.W. Lambert@InsideTheBig12 · 32m I can tell you a universal truth that you can take to the bank. The Jayhawks and Mountaineers need to win, they need to dominate the Big 12 between now and 2031. Because the Big 12 program that dominates - reaches the playoffs on a regular basis - becomes the SEC's first choice. C.W. Lambert@InsideTheBig12 · 32m I'm not going to argue with anyone who disrespects the Mountaineer program and the SEC's interest. Do your damn research. Adding WVU would plant the SEC flag squarely in B1G territory. PA, OH, MD, etc. WVU would have natural rivalries with Kentucky and Tenn. C.W. Lambert@InsideTheBig12 · 33m Again, Kansas and WVU might have pole position as the race starts... but its a long way from the finish line. They might have the SEC's eye right now, but they have 6 years to earn an invitation... or lose it. [/QUOTE]
