It would appear so. They seemed like a decent fit but were outside my top 5 in terms of schools I'd like to see admitted.

Yeah. Kinda feel bad for WVU. They're not a bad school, they have passionate fans, but they don't have the population that the SEC is looking for, and the "academic reputation" that the ACC is looking for. But it does indicate to me that the ACC schools aren't off limits for the SEC.

This makes me wonder if the SEC is staying at 13 and if not, who's #14?

Glad to see this.
WVU = Do Not Want.

It's either Missouri or one of the desirable ACC teams. The SEC won't stay at 13. Maybe for next year, but not long term.

We are staying at 12 once the Barn is kicked out.

We are staying at 12 once the Barn is kicked out.

Oh, I so hope to see the Barn get thrown out to become a football pariah . . . and the sooner the better.

Ole Miss should consider Conference USA.

The administration there has chased away half their fan base. Their dropping out would get us back to an even number.

Real quick..

I think we'd better get used to the idea of Missouri in the SEC. The Big 12 is going to implode. OU is already out the door. It may take Texas a bit longer though.

Missouri in the SEC just doesn't excite me at all. I have to be honest... I was more excited about WVU than Missou.

That is really disappointing, I was so looking forward to seeing Jesco White visit SEC stadiums next year. I wonder if he ever performs at WVU home games? That guy can really put on a show. He would have loved abarn, that place is right up his alley. :biggrin:

We don't have a problem with tweets from recognized publications and sports writers. The problem we've had are tweets from individuals or suspect sources (think Bleacher Report). Even when they're no more than rumors, some seem to feel that they gain some sort of credibility, just because they're tweets. The jury is still out on players' tweets. They seemed to be mostly designed to be easy to misunderstand...
