Unfortunately it’s all about $

Mother Earth and Climate Change be damned. As a WVU fan I would give anything to go back to the old East Indies days of the 80’s when I was a student there. Those were some great times. But those days are gone forever.

Big 12 may be interested in Pac 4 **
goldendomer • 08/26/23 01:10 PM ET
No interest from the B12. This is pressure tactic from Cal and Stanford. **
xx97 • 08/26/23 05:02 PM ET
I believe - ESPN is stirring the B12 pot because it’s good for them
Hokie12thman • 08/26/23 05:42 PM ET
Let's say the Big 12 adds the 4 remaining Pac-12 schools...
Old Line Hokie • 08/26/23 02:39 PM ET
Stanford and Cal belong in an academic conference, and the ACC is it. **
Big12 guy • 08/26/23 03:54 PM ET
I think you meant the ivy league**
EDGEMAN • 08/26/23 06:23 PM ET
Well, to be honest, that is where they belong. The beer drinking
Big12 guy • 08/26/23 06:25 PM ET
I would be fine with adding Cincinnati along with WVU under your scenario.
Maroon Baboon • 08/26/23 03:48 PM ET
The writing is on the wall, chances are, you will lose those FLA. Schools.
Big12 guy • 08/26/23 04:06 PM ET
Yeah. We are aware of that. Read the context to the thread.
Maroon Baboon • 08/26/23 04:18 PM ET
Doesn't really matter what YOU are planning on
xx97 • 08/26/23 07:00 PM ET
Self-evident.**
Maroon Baboon • 08/26/23 07:28 PM ET
WVU would be leery of joining ACC now
Millpoint • 08/26/23 03:36 PM ET
That 's yet to be seen considering almost everyone...

Millpoint • 08/26/23 07:36 PM ET
It’s certainly possible
OU_Sooner • 08/26/23 02:26 PM ET
With ESPN but not Fox
Millpoint • 08/26/23 02:40 PM ET
No
obguthr • 08/26/23 02:57 PM ET
If that happens (it won’t) it almost guarantees the ACC sticks through 2036
hokieZ71 • 08/26/23 02:16 PM ET
The ACC needed to take 7 or more teams from the West to make it make sense.
Maroon Baboon • 08/26/23 01:48 PM ET
Except for the 4 California Pac-12 schools, none of the other Pac-12....
Old Line Hokie • 08/26/23 02:00 PM ET
UW is in the fifties, and AZ / OR / UT are all right around 100 I believe**
LonghornHokie • 08/26/23 03:45 PM ET
I think The B1G will eventually grow the western division. They may want
33laszlo99 • 08/26/23 01:56 PM ET
From what I’ve read - ESPN is behind this
Hokie12thman • 08/26/23 01:32 PM ET
Fresno State seems more passionate about football than Cal and Stanford.
Maroon Baboon • 08/26/23 01:51 PM ET
Makes more sense than the ACC...
Old Line Hokie • 08/26/23 01:30 PM ET
Makes more sense to me too, @ least they can regionalize the non-rev sports**
Stech • 08/26/23 01:51 PM ET
Perhaps this will push the ACC to finish the deal**
LeadingEdge • 08/26/23 01:26 PM ET
or maybe just another rumor someone thinks will have that effect**
Vienna_Hokie • 08/26/23 01:29 PM ET
Can’t see this happening
Millpoint • 08/26/23 01:25 PM ET
If these four all end up in The MWC, ESPN has no FB content in the Pacific
33laszlo99 • 08/26/23 01:52 PM ET
Isn’t Arizona on PST from March until November?
Millpoint • 08/26/23 02:15 PM ET
Mountain Time zone schools already do "After dark" games.**
xx97 • 08/26/23 05:01 PM ET
I think that's right.**
33laszlo99 • 08/26/23 02:27 PM ET
So UA and ASU could easily do "After Dark"
