You hate the ACC & love B12 like some WVU fans I know, what’s up with that?
Stech • 05/18/26 07:36 PM ET
I'm confused where you're getting that I "adore" or "love" the B12.

FSU seems to be just biding its time for a P2 invite that might never come.
Maroon Baboon • 05/18/26 05:25 PM ET
There's no denying that the ACC will never be able to catch up with the P2.
RandomAsianGuy • 05/19/26 01:13 PM ET

Big12 guy • 05/19/26 11:38 AM ET
