As Lee Corso would say… “NOT SO FAST” West Virginia…
Apparently, West Virginia to the Big XII has hit a snag. According to ESPN:
West Virginia has been notified by the Big 12 Conference that its expansion process is on hold, a school source told ESPN’s Joe Schad on Wednesday.
The Big 12 is waiting on Missouri formally to withdraw from the conference and that there has been some late “hard lobbying” by Louisville for Big 12 inclusion, the source told Schad.
Interestingly, it looks like politics is becoming a factor, as Kentucky’s politicians are getting involved. This conference realignment stuff has always been very heated.
The ACC knows firsthand about this. Recall the expansion efforts to include Syracuse and Boston College that were derailed (temporarily in both cases) when Virginia politics got involved.
This could get ugly.

Give credit to the ACC for being proactive, moving swiftly, and keeping it all nice and neat when they invited Pitt & SU.
