MORGANTOWN - Big East schools like West Virginia University are trying to figure out what happens next. Pitt and Syracuse have left the Big East for the ACC and other Big East schools could also choose to depart the conference.
WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck issued the following statement on Sunday in an effort to ease the West Virginia fan base's fears.
"There is no question that the landscape of college athletics is once again changing. West Virginia University has great tradition as the state's flagship land-grant institution, and we will continue working to do what's best for our University and its athletic teams. No matter how the college athletic landscape changes, there is no doubt WVU is and will remain a national player."
The topic of conference realignment is expected to be a hot one and remain on the front burner of college athletics for at least the next few weeks.
