BTW I challenge anyone to find an article before September 2011 that mentions WVU. Matter of fact you’ll find Pitt mentioned before WVU. The first articles we saw here in Louisville were UofL and Pitt to The Big 12

You're under the delusion that WVU and UL were equals. WVU was a much stronger football program at that point in time. They were very good in the 90s and 2000s. They won 3 BCS bowls from 2005-2011. They were an upset against Pitt in the final game from playing in the BCS title game in 2007. Louisville was just a few years since they were promoted from CUSA.
