It would be pretty dumb to travel to Charleston to see a football game :)

Yes, the Big East has very low across-the-board requirements. USF is another benefactor of the Big East's low football admission standards. They have taken a ton of Florida kids that could not get in at UF.

Gotta fly to Charleston to get to Morgantown, IIRC.

I drove to Huntington, WV to see Marshall - KSU. Never again.

I've seen some of the mental midgets K-State and KU bring in. It couldn't be much worse.

Oh wow, that bad.

Judging by your posts, you stopped paying attention shortly thereafter. WVU's program has been in decline without Richrod.

There is an airport in Morgantown, only United flies there. But yes, It would be difficult travel even for fan bases that do travel well.

I think the SEC might have a positive effect on travel. I know Missouri for whatever reason does not travel well traditionally, but perhaps the prospect of seeing your team play at one of these storied programs would interest people.

Like others have said, WV has found a sweet spot in a conference with low admissions standards and conducive to piling up good records in football, and they had a great coach. The right next step for them is to try to move up. But it definitely remains to be seen if they could duplicate this success in an academically better conference.

I think they would be a good replacement for Missouri because it would persevere about the same football respectability for the Big 12. There are no Nebraksas out there, so its still down, but this would help keep things alive.

I've made posts about WVU?

This whole thing is boring now.

Only because you haven't made your own super conference yet.

Try it. The possibilities are endless.

1. Mizzou beat OU last year, but could they do it consistently? Just because WVU beat OU in a bowl game does not mean that year in and year out they beat OU if they played in the same conference. Especially if they couldn't get some of the players they currently get because they would be academically unqualified in the Big XII. Boise also beat OU in a bowl game. Could they do it consistently in the Big XII?

2. Put Mizzou in the BE and see how many BCS bowl appearances or BCS wins they have. Again they probably would have beaten VT the year KU did had they played them. They did not get that bowl because of their inability to (again) beat OU. They would have had another BCS bowl bid last year had they been in the BE, instead it went to a crappy UCONN team. Would they have won? Who knows. Heck Boise beat OU when no one thought they could. I am not saying Mizzou is on the level of an Alabama, Florida, or USC but I would put them at the same level as WVU. Conference affiliation has alot to do with the two schools bowl appearances and success.

3. On the BBall front, good point and I stand corrected.

I will make all the teams magnets on my fridge and just go crazy with it.
