Title: West Virginia University Joins Big 12 Conference Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 28, 2011, 11:30:03 AM http://www.big12sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=10410&ATCLID=205323383
Quote The Big 12 Conference Board of Directors have voted unanimously to accept West Virginia University as a full conference member effective July 1, 2012. The Mountaineers will begin competing in the Big 12 beginning with the 2012-13 athletic season. Beginning with the 2012-13 season it is expected that the Big 12 Conference will be comprised of 10 Universities – Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech and West Virginia. Huh. No Missouri listed? Title: Re: West Virginia University Joins Big 12 Conference Post by: SUPERCOACH on October 28, 2011, 11:32:49 AM Maybe the SEC was waiting for this announcement. I wonder if they announce Missouri today.

I wonder if they announce Missouri today. Nothing would surprise me anymore about conference realignment. SEC might announce today, and have press conference on Monday. :dunno: Title: Re: West Virginia University Joins Big 12 Conference Post by: BAMAWV on October 28, 2011, 11:41:59 AM I am real proud of their rifle team. The next best are Army (West Point) and Alaska (Fairbanks), but I think I heard WVU has more NCs than those 2 added together. The WVU Forestry School and Geology programs are both nationally acclaimed. High School forestry teams win NCs often. Our little county high school here won about 10 years ago.

Huh. No Missouri listed? Big 12 has 10 teams listed. They need 12 to have a conference championship game. What two teams will be next?

Maybe the Big 12/10 teams can get into THEIR conference.Title: Re: West Virginia University Joins Big 12 Conference Post by: Jamos on October 28, 2011, 02:20:36 PM I wonder why Boise St isn't wanting some of that action.

Come on, in the MWC they already play New Mexico, UNLV, and San Diego. Joining the Big 12/10 would be a drop in competition.

In particular I'm curious as to what is expected to be gained by Nebraska's move to the Big 10?
