I wanted WVU and VT to the SEC in 2003. OR, I wanted the ACC to take ALL
or most of the BEFC. When the ACC first announced they were taking Miami, Syracuse and BC--that's when I was hoping the SEC would take two pretty darn good football schools with decent sized fan bases--VT and WVU.
I also thought that the ACC made a massive blunder by trying to usurp the BEFC schools piecemeal, rather than all at once. I think the B1G is making the same mistake with its tinkering with the Pac-12. This process hurts everyone's brand. But the B1G might be too powerful to see its effects, where the ACC was not so lucky.

As I recall, in 2003 none of the good reasons you cited mattered

Hey - agree with the addition of WVU for the reasons you cite, however…
