WV competes in both football and basketball, its an upgrade IMHO. if it weren't for the KU/MU rivalry, it would be a no-brainer.

Needed an academic upgrade? Does the Big XII now require an academic upgrade since they will only have 2 AAU schools and will add a very poor academic university in WV?
WVU is more accomplished and has a richer football history than Mizzou. That being said, Mizzou has been on the upswing and WVU hasn't exactly dominated a weak conference the past 5 years.
