According to the twitters this is a done deal. WVU pays 5 million and will have to wait 27 months before joining.

If true, big fall for West Virginia...they were talking SEC, ACC...and not the Big 12?
And this probably is the death knell for the Big East if true.

Not sure either had any better options on the table.
Of course I'm not sure this is close to a done deal as many think.

Supposedly it will happen if Mizzou leaves for the SEC.

I'll be honest here.............(and he may end up being right) but I don't trust what Brett McMurphy says about anything to do with expansion to this point.

In the hurry to be first to market, journalists seem to have disregarded that small detail called journalistic integrity.
"Journalism" is now: hear a rumor, disseminate rumor to everyone possible, retract information as needed (including apologies for being incorrect). Somehow "confirm rumor with sources" just dropped out of the loop.

McMurphy isn't the only one reporting it.

Just WVU. They are on the brink of being left out in the cold worse than most could have ever predicted. They are lucky to the tenth degree the Big 12 are taking them.

Like I said, it may happen.............but we've been here before.
Remember, WVU was going to the ACC, then SEC, then Big 12..........only to be back in the SEC, then re-forming the Big East and now back once agin in teh Big 12.
Once Missouri makes their move and WVU leaves the Big East I will finally believe its happening.

Their ESPN 3 and Friday night football ratings put them over the top.

ESPN is now reporting it as well. Looks like this is going down. This could be the end for Big East Football.

Big 12 could accept West Virginia Mountaineers as early as Tuesday, source says - ESPN

The Big 12 has told West Virginia it will be accepted into the conference pending formal approval, which could happen as soon as later Tuesday, a Big 12 source said.

WVU joining the Big 12 isn't contigent on Missouri leaving, very interesting. If Missouri were to stay, probably be adding Louisville.

I agree with you I think next year will be the last year for Pitt SU and WVU in the Big East. I'm sure the basketball only schools are ready to take back their conference. I'm glad Memphis didn't get caught up in this mess. We'll see if we can luck into a BCS league by joining forces with the MWC - CUSA combo.

Big East conference is dead. WVU, Pitt, and Syracuse leaving. That leaves 5 schools. 5 schools do not make a conference. Boise, Navy, Air Force and Houston are not coming without WVU. That was a big point that they made.

So I guess the better question is where are the other teams going to land. UL might be going to the big 12. But are teams like Cincinati and South Florida coming back to CUSA. We already have to many teams since we're joining fores with the MWC.

So this would mean Pitt and Cuse aren't waiting 27 months as well? And that FSU doesn't have to play WVU ooc anymore? Sweet.

Quite possibly. Don't expect Pitt and Syracuse to wait 27 months either. WVU expects to play in Big 12 next season.

My thoughts too. Not worried at all about playing WVU but i'd rather speed the process up with Pitt and Syracuse. I want that tv money.

Anyone can get out early...if they pay enough money.
