WVU deserves better than the NNBE. They, Pitt, and SU while didn't get respect for playing in the Big East nationality had cache were B1G, SEC, Big XII, PAC-12, and ACC fans "respected" enough that if any of the three were where Cincinnati was 2 years ago 12-0 would have said the Big East is doing fine. The reason why is because those three have a tradition of being solid teams through the 60's,70's,80's, 90's. 00's, and aren't flash in the pans who have taken advantage of a SUPREMELY water-downed conference.
I wish WVU well, and hope they get into the SEC or Big XII which allows to get out of the Big East sooner.
