A 27 month waiting period will mean that WVU can't join until January 2014, assuming an October date for the official invite. So the Big 12 will have to fill two years worth of holes and even if they force MU to stay for 2012, WVU won't be able to join in time for 2013 games.Last edited by lambdacoug; 11-04-2011, 09:15 AM.Don't worry about people stealing your ideas.

Its nothing more than we're dumber than a sack of hammers to have had any demands at all and to turn away from talks with the Big 12.Originally posted by Green Monstah View PostDon't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Except that he answered almost nothing. I guess you both agree that the lawsuit and timing things are just formalities? That everyone knows already when everyone's moving? Possible, I guess, but just raises as many questions about Pitt and Syracuse.Originally posted by The Notorious J.I.C.

The lawsuit is about wvu trying to get off a sinking ship early. It isn't so they can meet some deadline.

I can understand that, but that doesn't answer the uncertainty baggage they bring, which is not small--unless the court thing is a formality and everyone really knows when WVU will be joining. Even then, court isn't free.Originally posted by The Notorious J.I.C. View Post
I just don't get why a ready and willing BYU is being bypassed for...WVU.

1. BYU is not ready and willing
2. WVU is more attractive due to BYU CULTure
I am going to go with number 2. This does not mean that BYU can't eventually get in to the Big 12 but only that WVU is more attractive.Dyslexics are teople poo...Comment

Yeah, I agree with those possibilities. I'd have to go with 2 as well--but it's Morgantown, WV. Not exactly Berkeley, CA.Originally posted by Flystripper View Post
Which is why I think there's a 3rd possibility--although I can't quite figure out what that would be. Some sort of extended crazy negotiation ploy by both sides? I'm not defending this, but I can't really defend 1 or 2 very well either. It might sort of explain why this ridiculous Beast thing has gotten any legs at all.Last edited by ERCougar; 11-04-2011, 10:00 AM.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah
