Big XII to help West Virginia pay its exit fees? That would be a new devlopment, no?

Let me ask this again: Why do conferences need exit fees? It would seem that if your conference didn't suck, people wouldn't be looking to leave. See: SEC

I would agree with this assessment...but apparently that is how it is done. I think the Big XII helping out WVU is a great sign for Mizzou that this will be taken care of, and everything will be settled for Mizzou going into next season.

I still can't believe West Virginia's going to the Big Texas League. They are going to get destroyed in football. I figure the only team in the conference they'll be able to pound is Kansas, and they should be competitive with ISU and Tech. Everybody else is going to beat them like a rented mule.

West Virginia will be almost exactly what Mizzou was.

I doubt that. Mizzou's exit fees are not going to be anywhere near the 20 million dollar settlement that the article talks about it. Would be surprised if each school wound up paying 6 million. Nebraska paid what, 6.3 million or something like that?

Last word was 12 mil would get WVA out of the Big East. So 6 mil from both schools would do it. Losing the 3rd tier for the remaining big xii schools would be costly. Regardless what it costs, WVA will be in the conference next year.
