I see that it is official on some media outlets today.
What a strange situation for College Football and I really hate all of the changes.
Two comments:
1. Why are SEC fans ripping Missou? They bring the media market and the bigger money to maintain the continued growth of the powers in the SEC. Does the SEC really need anymore powerful teams? No.
Heck they beat each other to death as it is.
Screaming for WVA is crazy, they are Ole Miss playing a weaker schedule while recruiting a certain type of player that would keep SEC coaches in hot water. They add nothing more than a reputation, that would quickly disappear in football in SEC. Do the eastern schools in SEC really want to see the crowd of 46,000 in Morgantown when middle of the road schools show up. They avg 56000. Kentucky is at 69000.
Ole Miss is 55000 and I have already shown the NFL players at WVA is less than Ole Miss.
2. Morgantown is a long haul for the Big 12 in a 10 team conference.
They would be better off with 12 and two separate leagues.
Kansas, KState, OK, OKST, Lousiville and WVA.
TX, TCU, TTech, Baylor, SMU and ? BYU.
I am happy for WVA, they have some great traditions.

I think WVa is a good fit for the Big 12, except the geography. Those fans are going to hate trying to get down here to watch their kids. Since there wasn't a school in this vicinity with much to offer, WVa was about as good as the Big 12 could do.
I'm lukewarm on Missouri, not too bad I guess. Putting them in the East for political reasons is stupid though. Would have preferred to be rid of AL/Aub and have a clearer road to the title game each year!
