per twitter, WVU invite to Conf Kick Ass is contingent upon them being available for 2012 season.

 :shakesfist:


Yeah, what are they going to do, physically hold them hostage?

We know there's going to be a lawsuit of some form and a payout.  West Virginia knows they're going to pay out the ass to join the Big XII.

This isn't really news.

Can WVU just say: "We're going to go ahead and breach that contract; sue us"?

I guess they are being proactive by suing the Big East first.  :dunno:

Prob gonna be a v tough battle though.  Big East will try to choke WVU out as much as possible.  This will prob set precedent for Pitt and Syracuse to bolt early if WVU gets off too easy.

If Big East wins a steep penalty, their conf is prob more likely to hold together for now.  If WVU and Big12 get their way, Big East prob more likely to dissolve faster than would otherwise.  Target will be set for teams considering leaving.

Yeah I completely don't understand this whole 27 month thing.  If WVU calls the Big East and says, yeah that game next September at South Florida, we're not going to be there and we're not going to any others after that either.  There's nothing the conference can do other than sue for damages.  They'd destroy their conference if they planned on proceeding with teams that are leaving.

Yeah, it's gotta be a ploy for larger money and to set a perceived larger hurdle for other teams.  However in the end, you can't make your girlfriend stay if she wants to leave.  you can only make life suck for her during the transition.
