[QUOTE="froginaustin, post: 2835586, member: 785"] From information that I found on the internet, I learned that WVU has or had an awful academic reputation in their part of the country, primarily because it is under political pressure to admit virtually anyone that has a diploma from a State of West Virginia high school. And some of those public schools give their kids a diploma after 12 years, whether the kids have made it all the way through [I]McGuffy's Reader[/I] or not. While that might have been true decades if not generations ago, I doubt it's true today. Nevertheless, supposedly both the ACC and the B1G have told WVU "no, never" for that reason. Otherwise, I would think natural rivals like Pitt and VaTech (both of which have high academic standards, or so I have read) would want WVU on their schedules and in their conference. I suppose that always leaves the SEC, but I suspect that that conference is full. I read that on the interwebz, too. [/QUOTE]
