WVU will be fine

The Big 12 has been very good to WVU. What a great atmosphere in Morgantown yesterday for college football. We make good money. If we were available when Maryland left, maybe we would have received an offer from the ACC, maybe not. I'm just grateful we are not in the American. Maybe the Big 12 implodes in the future, maybe it doesn't. I do know we will be fine whether we are in the ACC or not.
