WVU headed to Big 12 if Missouri leaves

I was lukewarm on this until McMurphy came out and said it. He's been the only guy to follow throughout this whole mess.

Oh, and somebody wake up Marinatto and let him know. This is kind of important.

All up to Boise St.

If WVU leaves, that now makes getting Boise St. an absolute must (it it wasn’t already before) in order for the BE to keep their AQ status. The one good thing is that it doesn’t look like the Big 12 will be going to 12 and taking anyone else, so the BE will survive again after all of this.

There was some good fodder on Twitter today about AQ status

All conferences + ND have 1 vote. So basically, the Big East have 2 votes for AQ status while in the same breath the C-USA/MWC merger takes them from 2 votes to 1 vote.

A big positive for the Big East when that discussion comes up as long as they can keep ND.

The BE will not lose their AQ status, I can assure you of that.

The reason being is that there would be a big lawsuit if they were left out. Here is the link you want to read:

In short, the BE knows about the corrupt stature of the BCS, and if left out, they have the inner wranglings to prove everything in court. It would be a multi-million dollar lawsuit, and this is the last thing anybody wants.
