Have you ever been to West Virginia?

I've got family from some backwoods parts of Tennessee, but it is nothing compared to a lot of places in West Virginia.

this is the truth. I've seen places in WVa that I'm surprised still exist in the eastern US

I always heard there was a river of crap that flowed between the Virginia and West Virginia line. I also heard you could tell which side was West Virginia because they had diving boards on their side.

Just sayin..... Do we really want West Virginia?

The West Virginia/Virginia border is formed by mountains.

Ohio/West Virginia may have been what you were thinking about.

It isn't a river of crap, but WV puts a lot of acid mine drainage in their streams. It is perfectly legal there.

I am not pushing to add WVU, but I think Morgantown is a nice college town. I lived 30 minutes away for two years. I can think of a list of reasons not to add WVU, but the town, football stadium, and basketball arena would not make the list.

I know people keep listing WVU's b-ball program as a plus however isn't this the team coached by Bob Huggins? i.e. the Drunk? So the SEC want's a school that openly hired a guy that was run off from Cincy because he was an alcoholic? Nothing good PR wise will come from the SEC adding WVU. I don't want Mizzou in the conference b/c I think they're distinctly midwestern but I'd take them in a NY minute over WVU. Slive needs to tell NCST whatever he told ATM to get them to change their tune regarding SEC membership.

US News & World Report Ranking (not the end all be all but a decent reference):

WVU 176
MissSt 151
OleMiss 143
Arky 132
UK 129
LSU 124
USC 111
NCST 111
UT 104
Missouri 94
Auburn 85
Bama 79
VT 69
ATM 63
UGA 56
UF 53
Vandy 17

Why scrape the bottom of the barrel with WVU?

I don't get the WVU hate, nor for that matter the cracks on the state. I've lived in WV for fourteen years (about a half-hour from WVU) and this is a great area to live. There is poverty for sure, but also lots of great down-home sorta folks. And the football team is very competitive--moreso than several SEC teams are on average. Many of the fans are rowdy and rude...but so are many of the fans in Baton Rouge and Gainesville.

Now, I'm not saying WVU is a good fit for the SEC...I don't really think A&M is either though. At some point all this expansion is going to start diluting the uniqueness of the conference. I'm sure it will be successful financially, but somewhere along the way we just might lose something we love.
