WVU Move to Big 12 a Good One

Posted: Updated:

West Virginia University is leaving the Big East and going to the Big 12.

This is a fantastic move for the university and one that will give us stability and credibility for years to come.

Credit school President Jim Clements, Athletic Director Oliver Luck and the Board of Governors for making this transition a reality.

These men knew they could not be passive and hope for the best.

They were aggressive, dedicated and devoted and even when things might have looked a little bleak, they soldiered on and never lost focus.

This is good for the school, good for the state and is just further proof that when we put aside our differences and work together, we can accomplish amazing things.
