Whomever ranked those schools academically is really reading some funny stuff...

The last FORBES rankings (pre Covid19) pegged West Virginia at #454 (down 40 spots from a decade earlier), Boise State at #569, up 45 spots from a decade ago, and Memphis is #547, Oklahoma State is #352. On glance the top 100-150 seems fairly accurate though.

I like the interest though. But you have to go by Forbes or USNWR rankings. Those are credible.

Being in this version of the BigXII won’t improve recruiting

Yes it will. Especially if the playoff expands and we suddenly have access to it

I can see your point if you’re comparing Indy to a G5 championship. But we’re

I don’t think we are at all. We don’t have a P5 championship to speak of as

It was amazing to see how horrific WVU was in academics and relative attendance figures.

It’s why I laugh when people act like the academic snobs of the ACC want WVU

Well, they have Clemson.

Clemson isn’t begging to get in the ACC either. They’re already there.
