    We the MAC would like to formally extend WVU an offer while simultaneously denying A&M.

    It's funny about A&M, but I'd be livid if similar was done behind the scenes to secretly add Clemson.

    And I would be in a similar position to do fuckall about it.

    This would be better for the sport

    ACC still has 15 years left at $32m per year on its ESPN deal. They need something to help them stay competitive.

    I can't pretend to know what happens to the Big 12 or current Big 12 members, other than WVU, if UT and OU leave. All I can tell you is what I know for certain. WVU will be in the ACC.

    The only way Texas will join is if ND does and we are going to get paid on our next deal. Our incentive is fairly light at the moment, particularly with the new playoff.

    I’ve read that will never happen. Ever. Not surprising with dude’s record of being wrong. That being said, they make perfect sense. Hell, we added Louisville. What’s the difference.

    I've always been on record that I would have preferred the SEC adding WVU over Missouri just from a fit perspective, but it's all about eyeballs, and West Virignia just doesn't have many and it continues to shrink.

    Technically you can take a boat from Oklahoma to the Gulf of Mexico and into the Atlantic.

    "Coast" is more of a guideline than an actual rule. See "Ville, Louis"

    According to the us news rankings Florida, Georgia and Texas all rank above A&M. Vanderbilt is the highest ranked.
