Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 58329, member: 628"] Adding WVU seems like the smart short-term move. The B12 needs to protect it's media contracts, which are in jeopardy at 9 teams. The B12's value is in football, and WVU brings instant credibility and attractive games on that front. I tend to agree that mid-to-long term Louisville makes more sense. No reason that with B12 money they can't get to a WVU-esque level in football, their hoops should remain strong, and they are a better fit geographically. But UL's football program right now doesn't have the "negotiating power" that WVU's does. As for OU/OSU, it all comes down to whether they really signed over their media rights to the conference. If they did then they offer nothing to the SEC. [/QUOTE]
