Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 1052986, member: 1145"] I would bet that the internet rumors that Fox wanted WVU are basically true. I can't see Texas preferring WVU, because Texas was flirting with Pitt as part of the talks to get ND to go Big 12 the way it eventually did with the ACC. Texas would have known that Louisville would have been more appealing to ND than WVU. But then again, maybe Dodds and Texas knew that if Pitt were in the ACC, there was 0 chance the Big 12 could entice ND. And thus the matter would have been one of taking WVU because it had more football history and a larger stadium and larger football fan base, and because WVU is a flagship state university. [/QUOTE]
