I can't help the fact that you have piss poor reading comprehension skills.

No other way than to change conferences why? Tell me.

I know. I'm sure WVU would be doing just fine in the SEC. Put Kentucky in the Big East, and what is their record? Doesn't matter. We will be just fine next year. Still might make the tournament this year, and that would really be saying something playing in this conference with all these true freshman.

I have no hard feelings towards WVU, I hope y'all win the big xii next year!

Probably the same considering UK is probably going to make the final four and has a realistic shot at the national title. I mean, they have beat Kansas, North Carolina and Louisville. Plus a bunch of other pretty good teams this year. They seem like they'd do ok in the big east.

They would do just fine in the Big East, plus they would make a bowl game in football every year in that weak ass conference.

They certainly wouldn't run it like they do the SEC. Not sure why you brought up football. Everyone knows the Big East is pathetic in football just like the SEC is pathetic in basketball. That is why I am so excited about the Big XII. Good football conference, good basketball conference, but not the gauntlet that the Big East is in basketball. Best of both worlds.

The SEC sucks in basketball? I'm pretty sure they have a few NC's this decade. Pretty sure just as many as the big xii.

Next let's talk about baseball and track. The SEC is the best all around athletic conference in the country Mountie.

I have no idea. I look at the depth of the conference to judge conference strength. I know nothing about track so I don't care about that. Baseball? WVU sucks, that is all I know, but the Big XII fans say Big XII has great baseball? I don't know, that's just what they say. Hopefully playing in a baseball conference can help our baseball become respectable. I also believe the Big XII has awesome wrestling?

The PAC has the most NCs across all sports. Big 12 has great baseball, but historically the PAC is the best baseball conference in America.

The Big xii doesn't have better baseball than the SEC, and you're an idiot if you think otherwise. Yes, the PAC has the most titiles, but who has been the best lately? EIther way the SEC is ahead of the big xii in baseball and track. Big xii probably has mens basketball, while the SEC has womens basketball.

If you are going to go into track, how about golf and wrestling? Really curious, as I have no idea. Track is pretty far down the care list for 95% of people. I would say more people care about wrestling, and probably even golf. WVU brings a nationally ranked wrestling team year in and year out. Not sure about TCU.

I would say track is pretty big, much bigger than wrestling/golf. In many instances, some members of the football team run track.

Track is bigger than wrestling man. The big xii has Oklahoma State so they have better wrestling. I would bet that it's close in golf with the SEC having a slight edge.

Its OK Big XII. You upgraded on the field product and on the court product. WVU is down in basketball this year, but that is what happens when you play 6 freshman a game.

They lost a top ten team this year in Mizzou. I would say it's a wash on upgrading in basketball. I think WVU is very good in basketball but to say that Mizzou isn't on the same level is false imo.

Agreed, wrestling is pretty much secluded to a certain part of the country.

Just want to clarify that I don't think that SEC is anywhere near as good as Big twelve in basketball. Just the basketball exchange losing Mizzou and A&M, gaining TCU and WVU, is not an upgrade. More like a fair trade for the big twelve imo.

TCU sucks in basketball, they are nowhere near A&M or Mizzou. The SEC has won a few NC's in basketball this decade, so it's fairly even.

I think top to bottom the Big twelve will still be better than the SEC JMO though.

No, but when you have the same ammount of national championships, or a close ammount, then what's the difference?

I didn't say it was, just said the big 12 is a great baseball conference, especially when compared to the big east. Depends on lately, last three years yes, last ten pretty damn even, this season? Oregon just sexed Vandy over the weekend.
