Does WVU's history of departure the former BE/AAC impact their chances of an invite?
WVU's departure from the former Big East/AAC was pretty acrimonious. I think that they burned a lot of bridges when they bolted. Looking at it now, if KU goes to the Big 10, and a few of the Big 12 remnants get picked up by the Pac 12, WVU's options might be pretty slim. If the ACC rejects them again, they would be pounding on the AAC's door. This time around, schools with long memories would probably take a long hard look at them. WVU would need the AAC a lot more than the AAC needs WVU. I doubt Cincy or Memphis would want to help elevate WVU. Cincy in particular probably senses that they can capture more publicity, recruits and overall, a better competitive advantage with a weakened WVU.

Doesn't matter what Cincinnati wants, WVU-Cincy is a strong regional rivalry game that will draw good ratings every year...ESPN/FOX will likely want that game.

If it was up to Cincinnati, I'd say F them...WVU is probably our biggest competition if the ACC were to ever expand. Independence would weaken that program dramatically after a couple of years.

It is at least closer than an 8 hour drive They’d immediately become UC’s biggest rival.

But they are not coming here so it’s just debating how many angels fit on the head of a pin.

If UT and A&M could end up in the same conference then WVU could end up in one alongside their old conference mates.

If WVU doenst end up in whatever plans the BIg 12 has, then the AAC will openly bring them right back if they ask. They would immediately become the top valued team in the AAC.

We arent in a position to decline value if it becomes available.

wont happen of course, but would be funny if they were left out and had to settle on sharing a conference with Marshall.

The AAC would love to get WVU back. Great fans and home environment. What CFB should be about.

I'd love to tell them to pi$$ off, but the AAC won't.

They should me made to endure some form of public humiliation to get back in, though.

Isn’t being back in a conference with Cincinnati public humiliation enough?

I said it before, WVU leaving the old BE opened the door for Temple to get back in. I would welcome the Mountaineers back in a heartbeat.

WVU has more than the UC rivalry to boost them. USF and WVU had a pretty good rivalry in the big East days, with multiple prime time games and real stakes on the line (2007 was of course the biggest, but 2006 and 2011 were also fairly important games).

WVU will have plenty of draw into Ohio and Pennsylvania as well.

All the more reason to hate WVU.

Big East had some crazy games/parody during that era.

I have not posted many replies on this forum, but have been an active follower for many years. I live in WV. I am an USNA grad and both of my favorite schools wear versions of Blue and Gold. Many WV citizens have never been happy with the move to the Big 12. I for one, would love to see WVU play Navy, Temple, Cin, ECU. Just dreaming, not scheming, that's just my two cents wishes.

Gold and Blue Dude is calling it. Should we trust him? He seems pretty sure of himself.

Wouldn't surprise me, but I don't think this guy is the guy who breaks the story.

I would welcome WVU back in a second. Good sports, natural rival that elevates the league.

If SMU fans can welcome Baylor, Tech or TCU, I see no reason why WVU would not be greeted positively. If we get stuck back together, its in our best interest to make it work. We all want more $$$, a better media deal, more fans in the stands, and restoration of lost rivalries.

I can give you 50 reasons why Baylor needs to be razed, the campus salted, and probably an exorcism as well.

But I want the AAC to succeed. If adding/joining Baylor will get us there, so be it.
