XXXACTLY! Dude needs to give it a break. I hope his channel grows, but not like this... Its cheap... and getting old really quick. This is like the 3rd or 4th time Ive seen something from him about WVU leaving for the ACC, which is utter nonsense. Ragebait is old news the only reason I clicked on the video was to give him a heads up he's losing subscribers from this
West Virginia is not going to the ACC, that ship has sailed a long time ago and we've found our home in the Big 12. Now, we're just waiting for parts of the ACC to come to us; UofL, Pitt, hopefully Va Tech and probably less likely, but Miami also. Should the ACC actually collapse in real life, there is potential for a great, tradition rich, NEW Big 12 with built in rivalries and a hell of a product on display every Thursday night and Saturday.
100% agree West Virginia belongs in the Big 12 unless they start adding more out west teams like Washington State and Oregon State the travel would be just too much at that point. I think the only other way West Virginia ever leaves the Big 12 would be an SEC invite which any B12 team would take that opportunity.
The ACC member schools would rather go G5 than invite WVU...theyve made that abundantly clear time and time again. According to the federal goverment report realeased by IPEDS, not a single ACC school considers WVU as a peer and since more academic money is tied up in these moves than athletic money and since the presidents and board of directors are the ones really voting on these things, WVU could potentially find themselves in the SEC or remaining in the Big 12 where there academic standards dont mean nearly as much. But a move to the ACC or Big 10 is nothing more than fanboy dreaming at this point.
Why would us Mountaineers want to go to the ACC we have a TV contract in the Big 12. Acc's is about up and losing FSU and Clemson would devalue their contract if they get one. Why would we want to get into that mess?? We already play pitt every year so that would not be a benefit yes less travel time we would love that but I think it would be a step backwards.
Drake, Utah knows where they sit with the Big 10. They know what they are looking for. Media days are coming up for the Big 12 very soon. We have our hands full with that and more so. Don’t worry about our coaching situation. This is really old news to us. And give it a break with what Coach Whit said. He is right in the end as this thing is far from over and you talk about the changes daily. Let’s just enjoy this season in the Big 12. I think everyone in the Conference has their hands full. Happy 4th 🎉
Drake loves throwing gas on a smoking fire. The Utah to the B1G rumor may happen someday but I agree let's focus on the upcoming season and play football!
I can promise you 1000% without even watching this video, there is absolutely no way WVU goes to the ACC. Our new media deal starting in 2025-2026 is going to be 50m per school. WVU wants to be in a football conference, and that is the Big 12, not the ACC.
There is nothing in stone about there media deal plus the Big 12 is not a strong football conference either! If WVU does come to the ACC it makes sense plus Disney / espn is making all the moves dont hate now like many have been hating on the ACC!
@@jmath1978 The projected earnings can be found on espns website, there is no reason for WVU to come to the ACC once FSU and Clemson are gone, especially if UNC and miami leave too. Also, the Big 12 is a much better football conference than the ACC without your two power brands, it's just a fact.
@@jmath1978 WVU doesn't want to save your ACC leftovers. We are quite happy in the Big 12, it's a much better cultural fit for us than the ACC. Whichever team you are a fan of if you want to play WVU, just cross your fingers that when the ACC falls apart they are desirable enough for the Big 12 to want them.
Exactly the ACC had their chance at one time you have the Mountaineers the rival of most of the ACC teams and they passed. The Big 12 saved us and it turned out to be the right thing for the Mountaineers I hope we never go to the ACC that would be a step backwards.
The irony is that these “super conferences” will likely end up with regional divisions at some point anyway. I’m a Hokie and just bought tickets this week to check out Stanford since I like going to new stadiums, but it’s ridiculous that we’ll play them and not WVA or Tennessee regularly. Proximity is not only makes the fan experience more accessible for those wanting to travel on a budget, but it also adds to the rivalry. I love cuttin it up with Vol fans or Mountaineer fans. Not exactly rubbing shoulders with alumni from Stanford, even if I could find any near by. 😂
Most people talking about schools joining the BIG 10 are missing one key point: a school must be a member of the Academic Alliance in order to join. Some schools in the ACC need not apply .
Hack video. The Big Ten is not kicking out teams. Fox does not call the shots. Your problem is you think the Big Ten is operating like the ACC, Big 12, PAC 12, etc
I wanted Pitt and West Virginia in the Big Ten years ago. Unfortunately, Pitt does nothing for market and only sucks up already sparse Midwest recruiting ground and Penn State would never admit them. And West Virginia is a broke mess.
Depends on how heavily the ACC depletes out. A heavily depleted ACC might want West Virginia to join, but a lightly depleted ACC will have enough members so they likely wouldn't be interested in adding any more.
Even if they want WVU, WVU would never leave a stable football oriented conference making more money with better competition for the ACC. The only sense it would make is less travel, but that doesn't out weigh all the other benefits of staying in the Big 12. WVU isn't going anywhere unless the SEC comes calling, which I'd love but isn't going to happen any time soon.
@@jmath1978 The ACC turned their tea sipping nose up at WVU when we wanted in the first time, why would we come help save the ACC leftovers. We play our main rival Pitt all the time regardless.

You're making a fool of yourself.

I don't think anyone from the B12 is going anywhere for a while. They will be that third conference and get more play off money when they do that look in a few years from now when the ACC loses their best 4-6 programs. The only programs that are additive for the B10 or SEC is ND. Clemson and FSU are additive for the B12 for sure but they are a push for the SEC and B10. UNC and Miami are not additive for the B10 or SEC but would be for the B12. I don't see the benefit of either the B10 or SEC in a rush to go past 20 teams, it would just mean more mouths to feed who bring you nothing.
UNC N MIAMI are additive to the BIG to the tune of +$5-10M/yr/per school (FSU Clem ND ADD 10-15m / SCHOOL TO BIG...UNC ND UMIAMI, UVA GT PITT Stan Cal are AAU MEMBERS AND HAVE OP BUDGETS 4X fsu CLEM
Depends if the the Core ACC stays intact . If it did, then West Virginia might consider if the ACC also looks into adding Cincinnati, UCF, USF , Uconn ,Memphis and possibly Tulane. At that point Standford and Cal would more than likely look into a Big 12 for more Regional sense ( and probably opens the door to the Pac 2 Oregon State and Washington State). Which would be basically a merger of the Big 12 with Original Pac 12 teams plus Houston and BYU.
Drake is a wannabe Texan who makes up deep fake clickbait to try and get subscribers. WVU isn't going anywhere and Utah isn't either...unless, of course, KU goes first and needs a partner for the B10. But honestly, none of that is happening.
I don’t think WVU wants to leave the B12 for the ACC especially with FSU, UNC, and Clemson leaving. But as a WVU fan I hope the whole ACC dissolves and the remaining teams are relegated to G5.
Dude you been talking realignment for the last 2 yrs lol give it a rest already, is this all u talk about ? Enjoy your beloved b12 without Tex/ou! This guy is awful
You do realize that all of your smack talk about OU and Texas in the SEC only makes it very obvious that you don't really think the Big 12 is any good at all. The two by far best teams from the Big 12 leave and could just barely even compete if they weren't in your weak conference.
@otterrufus beating ou has become a habit and going 9-4 against Texas over the past decade or more is the norm, nice try though.. barely compete my but...ask A&M how the game went lol
@@otterrufus No, Texas will be on par with LSU and Oklahoma will be Gamecock level. Solids adds to the Conference, but I’d say the B12 is more competitive game for game than the definitive split between great and good teams in the SEC
Drake, you have so much to learn about Kyle Whittingham and Utah. I know it’s early, but man. Your initial feel of “Crazy Uncle Kyle” is nuts. You could not find a more professional, measured person. The same way you accuse Utah has come in guns blazing. Your takes,on Kyle especially, are so ignorant and misinformed
I respect your enthusiasm in thinking that Utah, who was in the Mountain West not even 15 years ago, would somehow be next in line to get in over North Carolina, Duke, Virginia, Miami, or even Kansas.
@@jmath1978 Without FSU and Clemson, and not including ND because they are not a member of the ACC, look at your schools that are left and please try to explain to me how those teams are better than the Big 12. The reality is the Big 12 is better than the ACC leftovers whether you like to admit it or not.
@@jmath1978 really? You call expansion and the most competitive league in the country failing? Pac XII and ACC have both imploded and are losing their only competitive teams. That is failing. You make no sense.
Due to exit fees and other inertia, generally lateral moves at the Tier 2 level will require an amicable realignment. There's a good chance that the ACC's strategy is to retain its overall sports and academic branding, which WVU doesn't serve. Lots of things to fall into place for mutual interest.
What these guys don't realize is that for the BIG it's still about academics. That's why according to Greg Swaim they will only add AAU schools. The conference will never kick out northwestern or Purdue. Not happening.
Miami WILL go to B1G IF FSU goes to SEC. If FSU goes to B1G then Miami is 50/50 SEC/XII imo. I don't see the continue expansion of B1G/SEC beyond 20 to 24 teams MAX. The issue is Dilution. Fact is at $100M Per school, B1G/SEC do not have many schools out there left that equate to add value. FSU/Clemson/UNC for sure are close or maybe on par with $100M value per year, but beyond that you would be diluting the P2, which as a XII fan I say GO FOR IT! So they will start to lower that Top Dollar and shrink down to Big XII level of value.
The Big Ten is not adding Miami. We are at 18 teams and the schedules are tough already. Adding Miami would require adding another school in the region just to be a travel partner for them. That would bring the Big Ten to 20 teams, not including Notre Dame, and further stress our scheduling to play all members in a reasonable time. So no. The Big Ten is not adding Miami.
@@A1Googler If the hearsay of B1G wanting a footprint in Florida and FSU goes to SEC, then and only then could I see the B1G showing any interest at all in Miami. I can buy your reasoning, especially since I haven't heard anyone in B1G talking Miami.
Their is no way the EERS leave the Big 12. They got the tv deal thru 2026. And there have been too many episodes where Drake wears Penn State gear and is supposed to be reporting on the Big 12 not putting them down and spreading bs....WHAT a JOKE!!!!
No way this happens. WV is a good school, but athletically what have they done. Need another hook Drake, this one is way off base and lost me in the first minute.
The Big Ten and the SEC are two completely different business models. The Big Ten schools actually owned the Big Ten Network while the SEC own 0% of the SEC network. Rutgers and Maryland literally provides a third of the Big Ten Network subscriptions... It's the Mid-Atlantic region for crying out loud! You know...., NFC East money? Who's stupid enough to kick them out? Tell Jerry Jones his Dallas Cowboys are taking the Carolina Panthers position in the NFC South and watch how fast he has the NFL in court the next morning. 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, no way the Big Ten add Utah. Right now we are at 18 teams with schedules looking pretty tough already. I dont see this expansion growing past 20 teams. And why waste a slot on Utah?
@frontRunn3r587 ND sure, but no desire to add Stanford. The Bay Area doesn't care about college football, and their Olympic sports frankly don't matter. Would much rather add one of the ACC schools.
I used to like this channel. I got 1:23 into this video, paused it and went straight to the comments and was grateful I wasn’t the only one wondering what the hell this guy has started smoking lately. Total click bait
I think Utah is a great program. But, at this point, when your confernce has Oregon, USC, Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State....why are you adding Utah again?
@ericacottle3507 Well well well. Isn't this quite humorous? You always defend Utah saying the fans aren't pretentious and obnoxious, but here you are being a toxic Utah fan for literally no reason. Congrats on proving our last discussion on Utah's fans correct.
@@Goeers206 just stating the truth in my experience so far with WV fans. I would love to hear a WV fan speak positively about Utah without hating on them, trashing their success in the PAC, resenting every accolade given to the Utes by the media, claiming Utah is unproven and can't possibly stand up to the physical play of the B12. I could go on but every WV podcast I've watched has made back handed compliments about Utah, and in the comments nothing but disrespect and hatred. I have never trashed WV football or their university but pointing out with obvious sarcasm that bringing up Utah football on a WV podcast triggers the hell out of them.
UCF, Cincinnati, and West Virginia should go to the ACC. Cal, Stanford, Oregon State, and Washington State should go to the Big 12 and Notre Dame need to go to the Big 10
😂😂 WVU ain’t going anywhere unless they get an invite to the SEC. Why would they want to join a future G5 league? If that’s the case, they might as well join the Sun Belt. It’s more exciting. And Stanford and Cal are in California which the Big12 wants no part of.
West Virginia has already been considered for the SEC and we got rejected yes but they said in the future there is always a chance so I would never say never but I would say more than likely West Virginia will just stay in the Big 12. As a West Virginia fan we do not want to go to the ACC or Big ten it's just not a good fit. SEC or Big 12 all the way.
I used to think this was a cool channel, but it’s become a daily diet of random, unverified rumors that contradict yesterday’s rumors and will be contradicted by tomorrow’s. This is a joke. Do real Big 12 news. Maybe actually do journalism and interview someone.
I’m really disappointed as I really wanted to like your channel. I won’t say anything about you personally becuz I know this channel is your livelihood. That said, I have to unsubscribe cuz the last several weeks yours has become a clickbait channel. Sorry but that’s my opinion. Additionally the JT guy? Every B12 survivor knows how he feels but quite honestly he’s the biggest offender in the entire Locked On Network. I wish you the best in your journey.
By just about every metric TCU and maybe KU would be the programs the BIG2 would look at. Sorry but aside from being AAU, Utah does nothing for the B10. TCU would give them Texas and KU is a blue blood in hoops and is up and coming in football. TCU and Utah are two of the richest programs in the B12 as well, Presidents look at that kind of thing.
@@tarheel7406that is just a stupid comment. Be better, do some research before posting. UNC is a fit cause location and academics and research. They are mid at football and have mid TV numbers.
@@trfisher51 I have explained why TCU is a G5 equivalent many times and under many vids. Your ignorance is not my problem. KANSAS is a high bubble team for either a 24 member SEC or B1G. TCU as ~0% chance. TEXAS and TXAM are the Tier 1 P2 schools from that state.
@@tarheel7406 don’t even know who you are or anything about your videos. I have gone on and talked about why TCU would be a candidate but it doesn’t matter. Research and AAU status is what hurts them. They have good TV numbers and good revenue. I know they were discussed but the B10 Presidents wouldn’t agree because of the AAU issue.
@@trfisher51 Okay, for the ~100th time: a) TCU didn't make the original BIG12 cut b) TCU wasn't even valuable enough to backfill NEB or CO c) TCU was only added by the BIG12 due to the necessity to get back to at least 10 members In this context, TCU is a Tier 4 private school, a G5 equivalent.
What a freaking joke… OK ST as a fraud??? best running back in the nation, top 5 O line in the nation, a top 10 LB room, 3 WR set to have 1000 yard seasons despite Bowman…. 21 returning starters, 2nd year improvement for DC… I can’t stand listening to yall sometime because OSU is always an after thought in discussions despite them being the most consistent competitive team in the bigXII now and by far best facilities!!! Where did OSU hurt y’all for the insane bias that comes out episode after episode???
@@jmath1978 I would hope people are well past being mad about anything going on with college sports now. It has been ruined by big media and the clowns who run the $EC and B1G. I am back to watching pro sports more than college. If I am going to watch paid players, it might as well be the best.
Central Florida to SEC😂😂😂. That’s a good one. That is definitely in the realm of never going to happen……ever. You can rest assured B12 is married to Orlando city college for as long as you will have them
Well it makes sense for UCF to be the big dog in the B12, go to the playoffs each year, instead of middle of the pack or lower of the SEC (like Oklahoma likely will find itself). I think consistent CFP trips each year keeps moving their brand and recruiting forward. But the money issue might make the move be a necessity. Granted, Orlando and Central Florida isn’t the powerhouse TV market that Columbia, Starkville, Fayetteville, or Norman are… 🙄 But I’m sure being the second largest University in the Nation, smack in the middle of the best football recruiting pool in the Nation, and all the advantages of having nearby beach’s or the biggest tourist/travel destination in the Nation might help make up for a bit 😏 Please keep talking trash though, it makes our continuing growth and successes all the better as we leave ya in the rear view (guessing you are a USF fan lol)😃 Bye 👋
@@savannahfan typical UCF fan. Entitled, always with their own facts, Of coarse you have a large population, you take literally anyone who does a year at Valencia. That’s why your nickname is “U Can’t Fail” everyone in CFL knows how UCF cut corners to get where they are. You can’t compare yourself to a Florida or Texas. You not even close. incidentally, those same people are still stuck in Orlando 😂😂 OU is the University of the STATE of Oklahoma. That’s their TV market. Those are flagship State universities. UCF, is the university of Orange and Seminole county. That’s your TV market. Nobody cares outside of that. That’s where the University of the STATE of Florida and Florida STATE university are. Statewide. Wouldn’t throw too much shade at USF you will be seeing them soon.
@@adamb6370 2005 called they want their opinion back. Wanted to catch up the modern times pal. UCF has five nationally televised games this year, some somebody cares. Hate all you want, but facts are facts. UCF keeps setting recruiting records every year, and now that they are a P3 school, it’s only getting better. Blah blah blah what happened in the past nobody cares. UCF is the fastest growing football program in the nation. It doubled its revenue and tripled its licensing income in the last decade. So your argument sounds dumb, given the fact how far they’ve come in such a short time UCF will continue on the same growth arc and find itself side by side with the other top Florida teams
@@savannahfan UCF will never be at the same level of UF and FSU. They turn away 4.0 kids everyday. UCF has to take everyone just to maintain. UCF has the worst academics of the whole group. USF is better and growing. But typical UCF dillusion. There is no such thing as a P3. There are only 2 power conferences. Enjoy playing with the little brothers. This is the last time you will get on UF or FSU schedule. They have real games to play.
@@adamb6370 man, you make my day with all your jealousy. I love it.😀 Like I said, we have five national TV appearances this season. That’s how you get on the level of UF or FSU, by being seen. You can talk trash all you want, but you’re distance spec in our rearview mirror, and we’ve moved on to bigger and better.

The only programs that are additive for the B10 or SEC is ND. Clemson and FSU are additive for the B12 for sure but they are a push for the SEC and B10. UNC and Miami are not additive for the B10 or SEC but would be for the B12. I don't see the benefit of either the B10 or SEC in a rush to go past 20 teams, it would just mean more mouths to feed who bring you nothing.
All reports are that both the B10 and SEC covet UNC. There is no way they don't end up in one of those if the ACC falls apart.
If the BIG12 rises to #3, then #3 won't matter.
UNC N MIAMI are additive to the BIG to the tune of +$5-10M/yr/per school (FSU Clem ND ADD 10-15m / SCHOOL TO BIG...UNC ND UMIAMI, UVA GT PITT Stan Cal are AAU MEMBERS AND HAVE OP BUDGETS 4X fsu CLEM
Doce WVU Grande!!!
Depends if the the Core ACC stays intact . If it did, then West Virginia might consider if the ACC also looks into adding Cincinnati, UCF, USF , Uconn ,Memphis and possibly Tulane. At that point Standford and Cal would more than likely look into a Big 12 for more Regional sense ( and probably opens the door to the Pac 2 Oregon State and Washington State). Which would be basically a merger of the Big 12 with Original Pac 12 teams plus Houston and BYU.
I feel bad for Drake having to make shitty content for us during the off season and it's not even his fault lol
Utah is happy in the Big 12!
Drake is a wannabe Texan who makes up deep fake clickbait to try and get subscribers. WVU isn't going anywhere and Utah isn't either...unless, of course, KU goes first and needs a partner for the B10. But honestly, none of that is happening.
Utah to Big 10 is such an awful take. No media, no recruiting advantage,
WVU to an ACC without the tigers and seminoles isn’t even a slight possibility.
Which is why WVU was never invited. Bad fit on all factors.
Utah isn’t going anywhere where do you get your info?!??
I don’t think WVU wants to leave the B12 for the ACC especially with FSU, UNC, and Clemson leaving. But as a WVU fan I hope the whole ACC dissolves and the remaining teams are relegated to G5.
Your topic should be let’s see who we can annoy today😂😂😂
No way is West Virginia is going to the ACC and UCF going to the SEC is even more ridiculous.
If Utah goes to the big 10, it will improve the quality of both the big 10 and the Big 12!
No way that happens don't know why this stuff gets spread
Dude you been talking realignment for the last 2 yrs lol give it a rest already, is this all u talk about ? Enjoy your beloved b12 without Tex/ou! This guy is awful
WOW are all the teams going to the Big 10? 32 team Big 10?
UCF sees BIG for sure; It can be done in BIG XII
You do realize that all of your smack talk about OU and Texas in the SEC only makes it very obvious that you don't really think the Big 12 is any good at all. The two by far best teams from the Big 12 leave and could just barely even compete if they weren't in your weak conference.
@otterrufus beating ou has become a habit and going 9-4 against Texas over the past decade or more is the norm, nice try though.. barely compete my but...ask A&M how the game went lol
@@otterrufus No, Texas will be on par with LSU and Oklahoma will be Gamecock level. Solids adds to the Conference, but I’d say the B12 is more competitive game for game than the definitive split between great and good teams in the SEC
Texas Tech sec
This is like saying two parallel lines meeting!
stop it! how do you get links on my phone. I stopped using watching six months ago due to this exaggeration.
I like Drakes shows reminds me of Gold & Blue Dude
Drake, you have so much to learn about Kyle Whittingham and Utah. I know it’s early, but man. Your initial feel of “Crazy Uncle Kyle” is nuts. You could not find a more professional, measured person. The same way you accuse Utah has come in guns blazing. Your takes,on Kyle especially, are so ignorant and misinformed
LOL, The big 10 would only take Utah if Notre Dame said we will join but you need to take Utah. Which would never happen.
I respect your enthusiasm in thinking that Utah, who was in the Mountain West not even 15 years ago, would somehow be next in line to get in over North Carolina, Duke, Virginia, Miami, or even Kansas.
@@josephmelendez8370 The B1G will take none of the teams you mentioned.
If Utah would leave for the Big 10, within a week there will be podcasts about they will be going back to the Big 12. This is getting kind of silly.
Utah move is fantasy
USC would hate to see them again 😂
ACC is falling but let’s go there
Drake, i think you need to change it up!
Why would WVU even consider going to the failed ACC???? NO WAY!
The big 12 is already failed what are you talking about?
@@jmath1978 Without FSU and Clemson, and not including ND because they are not a member of the ACC, look at your schools that are left and please try to explain to me how those teams are better than the Big 12. The reality is the Big 12 is better than the ACC leftovers whether you like to admit it or not.
@@jmath1978 really? You call expansion and the most competitive league in the country failing? Pac XII and ACC have both imploded and are losing their only competitive teams. That is failing. You make no sense.
Less travel expenses as long as the ACC has a new TV deal.
@@gregsonger7221 Just look at his profile pick. He's been drinking that ACC Kool-Aid.
Due to exit fees and other inertia, generally lateral moves at the Tier 2 level will require an amicable realignment. There's a good chance that the ACC's strategy is to retain its overall sports and academic branding, which WVU doesn't serve. Lots of things to fall into place for mutual interest.
out if all the Locked on conference podcasts . this one gets the most hate towards the host.
Can you blame them? It’s basically they glorified G5 conference now.
What these guys don't realize is that for the BIG it's still about academics. That's why according to Greg Swaim they will only add AAU schools. The conference will never kick out northwestern or Purdue. Not happening.
LOL Utah to the Big Ten. I don't think so.
Making comments like this is like saying Alabama is going to the Pac 12.... what bs
I feel like y’all making stuff up for clicks and views, now. 🤨
Miami WILL go to B1G IF FSU goes to SEC. If FSU goes to B1G then Miami is 50/50 SEC/XII imo. I don't see the continue expansion of B1G/SEC beyond 20 to 24 teams MAX. The issue is Dilution. Fact is at $100M Per school, B1G/SEC do not have many schools out there left that equate to add value. FSU/Clemson/UNC for sure are close or maybe on par with $100M value per year, but beyond that you would be diluting the P2, which as a XII fan I say GO FOR IT! So they will start to lower that Top Dollar and shrink down to Big XII level of value.
Miami is not a candidate for the SEC. It’s BIG or bust for them.
The Big Ten is not adding Miami. We are at 18 teams and the schedules are tough already. Adding Miami would require adding another school in the region just to be a travel partner for them. That would bring the Big Ten to 20 teams, not including Notre Dame, and further stress our scheduling to play all members in a reasonable time. So no. The Big Ten is not adding Miami.
@@A1Googler sounds like Miami is B12 bound. UCF will be so thrilled
As a mountaineer fan that got to play Miami multiple times any conference probably would want them just for the week vacation in Miami. 😂🤣
@@A1Googler If the hearsay of B1G wanting a footprint in Florida and FSU goes to SEC, then and only then could I see the B1G showing any interest at all in Miami. I can buy your reasoning, especially since I haven't heard anyone in B1G talking Miami.
Their is no way the EERS leave the Big 12. They got the tv deal thru 2026. And there have been too many episodes where Drake wears Penn State gear and is supposed to be reporting on the Big 12 not putting them down and spreading bs....WHAT a JOKE!!!!
What a laugher!
TCU AND TEXAS TECH AND BAYLOR AND OKLAHOMA STATE. TO THE SEC.
This has become unwatchable, Drake. Im checking out.
No way this happens. WV is a good school, but athletically what have they done. Need another hook Drake, this one is way off base and lost me in the first minute.
The Big Ten and the SEC are two completely different business models. The Big Ten schools actually owned the Big Ten Network while the SEC own 0% of the SEC network. Rutgers and Maryland literally provides a third of the Big Ten Network subscriptions... It's the Mid-Atlantic region for crying out loud! You know...., NFC East money? Who's stupid enough to kick them out? Tell Jerry Jones his Dallas Cowboys are taking the Carolina Panthers position in the NFC South and watch how fast he has the NFL in court the next morning. 😂😂😂😂😂
Admittedly, I'm biased as a Penn State/B1G Ten fan... But why would we want to add Utah??? Media markets don't really matter right now.
Penn Stater here and I agree. From a style and academics standpoint they're a fit. But that's about it. They're way low on my priority list.
Yeah, no way the Big Ten add Utah. Right now we are at 18 teams with schedules looking pretty tough already. I dont see this expansion growing past 20 teams. And why waste a slot on Utah?
ND and stanford are the only teams left to add...
@frontRunn3r587 ND sure, but no desire to add Stanford. The Bay Area doesn't care about college football, and their Olympic sports frankly don't matter. Would much rather add one of the ACC schools.
Agreed
I used to like this channel. I got 1:23 into this video, paused it and went straight to the comments and was grateful I wasn’t the only one wondering what the hell this guy has started smoking lately. Total click bait
I think Utah is a great program. But, at this point, when your confernce has Oregon, USC, Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State....why are you adding Utah again?
Because that conference has, Indiana. Illinois, Purdue, Rutgers, Maryland etc etc. The B1G is a great conference, but it is still very top heavy.
Clickbait is fun!
Texas Tech and Oklahoma State going to the sec in the near future, it just makes sense 😊😊
TXTECH is a G5 equivalent, so ~0% chance. OKSTATE is a bubble team for a 24 member SEC.
Are you trying to Piss off West Virginia fans?😡
Sounds about right like Disney Espn has its hands on it dont get mad now!
That wouldn't take much, all you have to do is say Utah and they lose their minds 😂
@ericacottle3507 Well well well. Isn't this quite humorous? You always defend Utah saying the fans aren't pretentious and obnoxious, but here you are being a toxic Utah fan for literally no reason. Congrats on proving our last discussion on Utah's fans correct.
@@Goeers206 just stating the truth in my experience so far with WV fans. I would love to hear a WV fan speak positively about Utah without hating on them, trashing their success in the PAC, resenting every accolade given to the Utes by the media, claiming Utah is unproven and can't possibly stand up to the physical play of the B12. I could go on but every WV podcast I've watched has made back handed compliments about Utah, and in the comments nothing but disrespect and hatred. I have never trashed WV football or their university but pointing out with obvious sarcasm that bringing up Utah football on a WV podcast triggers the hell out of them.
@ericacottle3507 Not going to get into with you again, just pointing out that the hypocrisy is humorous.
UCF, Cincinnati, and West Virginia should go to the ACC. Cal, Stanford, Oregon State, and Washington State should go to the Big 12 and Notre Dame need to go to the Big 10
Well we can't do that, it makes too much sense.
😂😂 WVU ain’t going anywhere unless they get an invite to the SEC. Why would they want to join a future G5 league? If that’s the case, they might as well join the Sun Belt. It’s more exciting. And Stanford and Cal are in California which the Big12 wants no part of.
@@gregwillis1651 😂
@@Rodkicks88 West Virginia is never getting an invite to the SEC 😂
West Virginia has already been considered for the SEC and we got rejected yes but they said in the future there is always a chance so I would never say never but I would say more than likely West Virginia will just stay in the Big 12. As a West Virginia fan we do not want to go to the ACC or Big ten it's just not a good fit. SEC or Big 12 all the way.
I used to think this was a cool channel, but it’s become a daily diet of random, unverified rumors that contradict yesterday’s rumors and will be contradicted by tomorrow’s. This is a joke. Do real Big 12 news. Maybe actually do journalism and interview someone.
I’m really disappointed as I really wanted to like your channel. I won’t say anything about you personally becuz I know this channel is your livelihood. That said, I have to unsubscribe cuz the last several weeks yours has become a clickbait channel. Sorry but that’s my opinion. Additionally the JT guy? Every B12 survivor knows how he feels but quite honestly he’s the biggest offender in the entire Locked On Network.
I wish you the best in your journey.
By just about every metric TCU and maybe KU would be the programs the BIG2 would look at. Sorry but aside from being AAU, Utah does nothing for the B10. TCU would give them Texas and KU is a blue blood in hoops and is up and coming in football. TCU and Utah are two of the richest programs in the B12 as well, Presidents look at that kind of thing.
TCU is a G5 equivalent. No real chance at making the P2 cut.
@@tarheel7406that is just a stupid comment. Be better, do some research before posting. UNC is a fit cause location and academics and research. They are mid at football and have mid TV numbers.
@@trfisher51 I have explained why TCU is a G5 equivalent many times and under many vids. Your ignorance is not my problem.
KANSAS is a high bubble team for either a 24 member SEC or B1G. TCU as ~0% chance. TEXAS and TXAM are the Tier 1 P2 schools from that state.
@@tarheel7406 don’t even know who you are or anything about your videos. I have gone on and talked about why TCU would be a candidate but it doesn’t matter. Research and AAU status is what hurts them. They have good TV numbers and good revenue. I know they were discussed but the B10 Presidents wouldn’t agree because of the AAU issue.
@@trfisher51 Okay, for the ~100th time:
a) TCU didn't make the original BIG12 cut
b) TCU wasn't even valuable enough to backfill NEB or CO
c) TCU was only added by the BIG12 due to the necessity to get back to at least 10 members
In this context, TCU is a Tier 4 private school, a G5 equivalent.
UF will veto UCF joining SEC
these are the worst takes I’ve ever heard in my life.
Utah to the B10, they will be a middle of the pack team never competing for a championship
How much did you have to drink last night 🤔
Utah is NOT going to B10. Why would the B10 want that school? Ha!
What a freaking joke… OK ST as a fraud??? best running back in the nation, top 5 O line in the nation, a top 10 LB room, 3 WR set to have 1000 yard seasons despite Bowman…. 21 returning starters, 2nd year improvement for DC… I can’t stand listening to yall sometime because OSU is always an after thought in discussions despite them being the most consistent competitive team in the bigXII now and by far best facilities!!! Where did OSU hurt y’all for the insane bias that comes out episode after episode???
B. S.
Sounds about right like Disney Espn has its hands on it dont get mad now!
@@jmath1978 I would hope people are well past being mad about anything going on with college sports now. It has been ruined by big media and the clowns who run the $EC and B1G. I am back to watching pro sports more than college. If I am going to watch paid players, it might as well be the best.
@@jmath1978 OK, you're definitely a bot.
The traditional big ten schools aren’t going anywhere. Illinois is a big time academic institution. They also just finished top 20 in CFB revenue.
You cant help but to mention Oklahoma in every other segment.......just sad man the Big 12 looks depressing......
I couldn't agree more, maybe portraying a stronger image would help
@@wetblanket1977 exactly
Lots and lots of energized chat, very little of substance. Not worth watching for 27 minutes and 5 seconds.
Bro stop
Bro the title of this video is the dumbest thing I’ve read in a while…. The answer is no to all of them
WVU to ACC? Bwahahahahahahahahha! Be better
Utah it’s not going anywhere
Wow, you guys are very dense. You talk like you know a lot but wow, you don’t.
This is a ridiculous take. I can’t even watch this, UT just got to the Big xii and WV would be stupid to go to a dying ACC. Try harder.
In context, the BIG12 is already dead. The question is what dead Tier 2 conference is the best fit after the P2 consolidation.
Click bait. Pitiful.
This channel is really a joke.
Central Florida to SEC😂😂😂. That’s a good one. That is definitely in the realm of never going to happen……ever. You can rest assured B12 is married to Orlando city college for as long as you will have them
Well it makes sense for UCF to be the big dog in the B12, go to the playoffs each year, instead of middle of the pack or lower of the SEC (like Oklahoma likely will find itself). I think consistent CFP trips each year keeps moving their brand and recruiting forward. But the money issue might make the move be a necessity.
Granted, Orlando and Central Florida isn’t the powerhouse TV market that Columbia, Starkville, Fayetteville, or Norman are… 🙄 But I’m sure being the second largest University in the Nation, smack in the middle of the best football recruiting pool in the Nation, and all the advantages of having nearby beach’s or the biggest tourist/travel destination in the Nation might help make up for a bit 😏
Please keep talking trash though, it makes our continuing growth and successes all the better as we leave ya in the rear view (guessing you are a USF fan lol)😃
Bye 👋
@@savannahfan typical UCF fan. Entitled, always with their own facts, Of coarse you have a large population, you take literally anyone who does a year at Valencia. That’s why your nickname is “U Can’t Fail” everyone in CFL knows how UCF cut corners to get where they are. You can’t compare yourself to a Florida or Texas. You not even close. incidentally, those same people are still stuck in Orlando 😂😂
OU is the University of the STATE of Oklahoma. That’s their TV market. Those are flagship State universities. UCF, is the university of Orange and Seminole county. That’s your TV market. Nobody cares outside of that. That’s where the University of the STATE of Florida and Florida STATE university are. Statewide.
Wouldn’t throw too much shade at USF you will be seeing them soon.
@@adamb6370 2005 called they want their opinion back. Wanted to catch up the modern times pal.
UCF has five nationally televised games this year, some somebody cares.
Hate all you want, but facts are facts. UCF keeps setting recruiting records every year, and now that they are a P3 school, it’s only getting better.
Blah blah blah what happened in the past nobody cares. UCF is the fastest growing football program in the nation. It doubled its revenue and tripled its licensing income in the last decade. So your argument sounds dumb, given the fact how far they’ve come in such a short time
UCF will continue on the same growth arc and find itself side by side with the other top Florida teams
@@savannahfan UCF will never be at the same level of UF and FSU. They turn away 4.0 kids everyday. UCF has to take everyone just to maintain. UCF has the worst academics of the whole group. USF is better and growing. But typical UCF dillusion.
There is no such thing as a P3. There are only 2 power conferences. Enjoy playing with the little brothers. This is the last time you will get on UF or FSU schedule. They have real games to play.
@@adamb6370 man, you make my day with all your jealousy. I love it.😀
Like I said, we have five national TV appearances this season. That’s how you get on the level of UF or FSU, by being seen.
You can talk trash all you want, but you’re distance spec in our rearview mirror, and we’ve moved on to bigger and better.
Not sure why you feel your opinion about the Big 12 matters, coming from G5 Land, but it’s amusing to hear so keep it up
