Expansion is about Football TV $$, FSU shows you can dramatically improve


Academically by joining the right conference.

WVU will fill stadiums with passionate fans and natural close rivalries and that makes for much better TV ratings. The SEC has seen Academic rankings go up while doing just that. We are being left in the dust by the SEC in money and exposure. We are about to get lapped again.

We cannot keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result. The ACC helped FSU academically and they can do the same for Louisville and now WVU. Sometimes you take the highest player available in the draft and coach them up. The ACC is in for a downward trajectory if we don’t take some chances. It’s not just football either, it’s funding other sports and keeping the best coaches. Football TV money is the primary economic engine that funds much of that.
