[QUOTE="Richard7125, post: 937104, member: 5703"] I laugh when I see people talking about antiquated requirements like academics, location, recruiting, research, etc being important to the Big10 or SEC for conference affiliation. Those might have been important years ago, but don’t kid yourself, the overwhelming requirement for either of these conferences is revenue generation from football and to a lesser extent basketball. The big dollars they get from ESPN, Fox, etc is for their media content, plain and simple. You can bet your bottom dollar if West Virginia delivered the type of name recognition as Notre Dame, both the SEC and Big10 would be courting them to join. Conversely, if you can't add significant revenue to their model, they don't want you. [/QUOTE]
