The West Virginia Mountaineers are suing the Big East, which is pretty fun. Sports are fun. Now the Big East has announced it’s suing WVU in return, which is also pretty fun, like sports:
Big East Suing West Virginia Right Back Over Big 12 Exit
@McMurphyCBS Big East filed suit against West Virginia in Superior Court in Rhode Island, seeking WVU to comply w/Big East bylaws
At issue: West Virginia contends it should be able to leave the Big East for the Big 12 before the agreed-upon 27-month waiting period. The Eers feel the Big East just isn’t fit anymore -- despite its pending acquisitions of Boise State and other noteworthies -- and that the conference’s disrepair should excuse their haste.
The Big East, of course, wants West Virginia to stick around and enjoy this northeastern family atmosphere for just a couple more years. Who could turn that down?
