CBSSports' Brett McMurphy is reporting that West Virginia University has been rejected by both the ACC and the SEC. Those were the two major conferences WVU was applied to join after both Syracuse and Pitt jumped to the ACC Conference. McMurphy first reported this story on his twitter account @brettmcmurphycbs:
"Multiple Big East sources said they have been told by WVU officials that WVU rejected by ACC & SEC."
McMurphy was also the first person to report on Saturday that Syracuse and Pitt have been accepted into the ACC.
WVU athletic department officials had no comment on the report, however, and they also point out that WVU never issued any statement about whether the university had even applied for admission to the SEC.
