Of course the big12 is just looking to survive, but what are the others after. The SEC is after a bigger tv market and a bigger tv contract. I understand adding aTm would give them a footprint into texas and the houston market, and adding missouri would give them st louis market. But what does adding wvu give them? If the bigger acc schools are going to turn them down and the dc market or charlotte market is what they really want in the east, perhaps they would be better served by getting a FCS school in those markets to upgrade their football. Without doing too much research i would say UNC charlotte, JMU, VCU, and GMU are large enough state universities (as big or bigger than vandy ,ole miss, msu and arky) that could carry off a FBS program. And having the added cache of going to the sec would make them instantly credible against acc teams recruiting in the same area.
