So has the Dude of WV.


He has done a 180 degree turn on the ACC lately. A complete turn around. The photo is of the Clemson President and the WVU President.

What WVU can't do is let the ACC draft UCONN if they believe the B12 is cooked.

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
ND might be the secret ingredient that makes the ACC actually doable.

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
I'm saying WVU is #1 on the ACC's wish list but is bound by a GoR to the Big 12.

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
Tricky question. WVU would ask the B12 to let them out of the GoR.

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
If OU, UT & KU would vote to let WVU walk then it's also a signal the conf is doomed.

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
If that happens - OU, KU & UT agree to let WVU go & the rest balk I bet WVU tries to use sovereign immunity & leaves anyway.

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
WVU is always on the SEC radar. Missed the cut 3 times now. Many regret taking Mizzou over WVU.

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
But the ACC is a better fit for WVU. Historic rivals Pitt, VT & Syracuse already in the conf.

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
WVU's relationship with Pitt, VT, Syracuse, Clemson (Clements) & FSU (Jimbo) is a perfect fit.

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
The ACC has legitimate interest in WVU. Think of the value WVU has to TV in the ACC. Rivalries with Pitt, VT, UVA, NCST, Syracuse.

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
The WVU - Pitt/VT rivalries alone are must see TV. But as much as good as a fit as WVU is in the ACC the fact remains they are bound by GoR

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
Name a rivalry VT has with any ACC school that comes close to WVU.

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
Although the intensity of the VT - WVU rivalry could be downright scary at times.

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
Pitt and WVU need each other. I believe that... VT and WVU is a huge rivalry... perhaps more heated than Pitt - WVU.

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
ACC would put WVU with Pitt & VT.

Khristofór Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV
The most logical move is some type of Big 12 / Pac 12 merger... which could also see WVU moving to the ACC.
