[QUOTE="skygusty_rivals, post: 129581019, member: 1500287"] It would be an incredible precedent for even 1 team to go from a power5 conference to the equivalent of the AAC, let alone maybe 5 or more. (Iowa State, WVU, Kansas State, Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU) It would be unprecedented for a team IN PRIMARY CONTROL of a Power5 conference, (Oklahoma or Texas) to leave the conference they are in control of and raking in top ten revenue to go be one of the crowd in another conference out of their region. It would be damned interesting though and give us a lot to talk about for years. If such misfortune comes to play because of the misguided greed of Texas and Oklahoma and WVU ends up playing Richmond and ECU and William and Mary and Furman and the like, I will STILL be a WVU fan. I will be a fan if they are making millions or hunnerds of dollars. I got two degrees from WVU, my brother and sister both graduated from WVU, I worked at WVU for 29 years and my family (on both sides) lived in WV for over 200 years. My loyalty and interest is not dependent on whether we are making millions. I am grateful that Texas wanted us but have no illusions about who holds the power in the Big12. I hope Texas and Oklahoma stick around and continue with the 10 team league and that we see a national championship from the conference within the next 4 years. If they decide to expand with teams nobody else wants, I'm OK with that too as long as the conference is OK with it too. [/QUOTE]
