So basically the league had to wait until present contract ran out and could then go out into market and hope tht competitors would drive up the value. WV AD is full of crap because he knows full well that the Eers and the other two would have taken the offers they took even if the league had expanded to 12. He is going to keep harping about Big12 expanding because he doesn't want WV being on an island in the league. But reality is that Big12 could add UL,BYU anytime they wanted to and Texas is not going to just add those two and go o a championship game that they have stated not to want just to please WV and add a couple of million in tv contracts. It has to be a major increase for UT to agree to that move
