Just read a 247 sports article Big 12 is looking to add BYU, Cincinnati, UCF, and Houston for what its worth. Three of the four could be decent additions. Also three of the four are better than Texas but that's not saying a lot.
If you're on praying ground and interceding terms, pray that we go to the ACC. Otherwise plan B is an expanded Big 12 with Mike's suggestions of Boise State, BYU, Cincinnati, and UCF. But I don't think plan B will happen because the ACC, Big, and PAC 12 will want to keep up with the SEC in...
Thank you bb, I believe you are right, when you mentioned coal mines, I remembered while growing up the coal mining towns of southern WV had baseball teams and paid their top players to "work."
Why we may be reaching a tipping point for the Power Five to break away from the FBS
Good article, thanks. I have a question but I have no opinion. The article mentioned a players union. Could it be that when players start getting paid, would that lead to a draft of some sort among the P5...
this thing of paying college athletes opens up a good can of worms. If college players are paid then they will have to pay income taxes. Ire IRS may deem athletic "scholarships" taxable too. One can readily ascertain that the scholarship is worth about $30,000 per year and let's say is pay is...

Case in point: Heath Miller of the Steelers came from Honaker High School & was a...
The team has a reason to win this weekend. Bowl eligibility. It would be great to win this one and start moving up the Big 12 bowl pecking order. WV 37 - 34
4down and 20 is right. This is a trap game because its out there and those paddles look imposing. Too bad parents does not use them...

I may be wrong, and could be having a senior moment but I thought that Georgia Southern was going to be a FBS school in the Sunbelt Conference. If this is true then this game will be against perceivably better competition.

Sad but true, only a few people in this life realize when its time to step down. The wrestling coach should have read "Happy Happy Happy" a bio. of Phil Robertson, the founder of Duck Commander. He realized when it was time to leave and turned over the company to his son. Duck...

I read somewhere that when the mountain people, (WV, TN, VA,,KY), migrated west, they stopped in Oklahoma because the land was similar to their old home. Perhaps Oklahoma and West Virginia folks have a lot of things in common, looks like could be friendly except on fb & bb days. I...
