This will make the B12 much more far flung than any other P5 conference.

If we look at the distance (by road) to circumnavigate each of the P5 conferences, we have the SEC at 3100 miles [Gainesville-Austin-Norman-Columbia (MO)-Lexington-Columbia (SC)-Gainesville], the B1G at 3200 miles [Lincoln-Bloomington-College Park-New Brunswick-Lansing, Minneapolis-Lincoln], the ACC at 3800 miles [Chestnut Hill-South Bend-Tallahassee-Coral Gables-Chestnut Hill}, the P12 at 3900 miles [Seattle, Los Angeles-Tucson-Boulder-Seattle] and the B12 at a whopping 5200 miles [Orlando-Morgantown-Provo-Waco/Lubbock-Orlando]. It is going to cost a lot of travel money for their Olympic sports teams.

Looks like Big 12 will vote to admit 4 new members next Friday. Link -- patit hoo 09/03/2021 5:16PM

It looks like they are still an attractive conference. -- Flanker 09/04/2021 08:23AM

They may actually have 14 teams -- I85Hokie 09/04/2021 10:27AM

Yeah I don’t think West Virginia is leaving the B12 with these additions. ** -- Stech 09/03/2021 11:21PM

Even with these additions, the Big 12 is much less attractive than it was -- tarheelblue 09/04/2021 02:44AM

Big12 now is Big East in 03...dead conference walking -- Vienna_Hokie 09/04/2021 10:16AM

Except there is less danger of the Big or ACC picking from it now. -- HOO86 09/04/2021 11:36AM

Because there is not a team in the conference anyone wants ** -- Vienna_Hokie 09/04/2021 11:44AM

I would like WVU but agree with everybody else ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 09/04/2021 7:02PM

I am 100 percent certain -- Millpoint 09/04/2021 07:35AM

Those teams have upside but the bottom line is even combined, not OU and UT ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 09/04/2021 04:26AM

Even if the ACC invited them? -- VaTechHokiesACC 09/04/2021 12:58AM

No doubt they would accept an ACC offer. That ball is in ACC's court. ** -- wwhokie1 09/05/2021 07:51AM

Re: Even if the ACC invited them? -- Millpoint 09/04/2021 07:40AM

Wouldn’t the academic side of WVU prefer the ACC? -- HokieAl 09/04/2021 12:12PM

Re: Wouldn’t the academic side of WVU prefer the ACC? -- Millpoint 09/04/2021 12:19PM

I don't see that as anywhere close to a realistic goal -- Vienna_Hokie 09/04/2021 10:28AM

Sounds fair ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 09/04/2021 10:25AM

I like they are adding and will still be an influence -- Vinnibob 09/03/2021 7:29PM

With whom? ** -- MrFantastic! 09/03/2021 8:45PM
