The longest public secret courtship came to a completion yesterday as Missouri and the SEC finally pulled the public trigger, with Missouri joining the SEC. The move gives the SEC exactly what it needs: a new region with new markets to help improve it’s already massive television package. With Texas A&M joining and the SEC [...]
* Top of the list is the latest with the “will they/won’t they” romance between the Big 12 and WVU. It appeared just yesterday that the Big 12 had popped the big question with WVU giving a happy and tearful “yes”…and all that was left was to get the paperwork in order. * But now, [...]
Piggy-backing last weeks report from the Boston Globe, the New York Post is reporting that indeed, WVU is headed to the Big 12. WVU will replace Missouri who is expected to leave for the SEC. WVU will pay a $5 exit fee since the $10 fee hike only kicks in once Air Force or Navy [...]
Per reports, West Virginia is expected to replace Missouri in the Big 12 once they leave to join the SEC. WVU would join in 2014. and the conference would remain at 10 at that point. Missouri would likely be gone for the SEC earlier, so the Big 12 would be at 9 members until WVU [...]
