LOL  I only wish Yoda was actually in a position to make this happen.

In general, WVU is really ticked off at being stuck in the Big 12 without the travel partners they were promised.

I ran some numbers: 

Average distance from Morgantown WV to Tampa, Cincy, Orlando: 610 miles

Average distance to CURRENT three closest peers: 815 miles (Ames IA, Lawrence KS, Manhattan KS)

 

With Cincy, Tampa, and Orlando, WVU's closest 8 opponents average 780 miles. Without us, they average 975 miles. Each trip, on average, would save the equivalent of a trip from here to Jacksonville. Every time.

If USF were to go to the Big XII it would be tectonically shocking (I agree we'd leapfrong FSU and UM, at least in terms of TV revenue) and, IMHO, good (compared to our current situation). 

 

Which is why it'll never happen.  Because the college football gods have decided that we can't have nice things.

The ACC/Big 12 scheduling agreement being talked about is going to be interesting to watch.

I just don't get Barron at FSU. He is basically saying tradition > winning. His legacy will be the Noles being surpassed by UCF & USF.

BAHAHAHAHAHA ... /thread

We need human sacrifices for the college football gods. Any volunteers?

I agree

Which is why I am perfectly content in the AAC. It's only a matter of time before the big boys break away and we form an alliance with the MWC or something. I really do want our champion and their champion playing for 'something'. 

 

Once everyone else realizes we are just fodder for the 'established' programs with 'brand name' recognition and we are not part of what really, is the "Elite 16" or so in college football, things will be a hell of a lot easier.

 

The B12 would be nice, a truncated ACC would have been better but, for all intents and purposes, we are where we need to be.
