West Virginia University trying to leave Big East for Big 12

West Virginia University filed a lawsuit Monday seeking an immediate divorce from the Big East so it can become a member of the Big 12 before the 2012 football season. Syracuse and Pittsburgh withdrew from the Big East in September to join the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The Big 12 announced West Virginia’s acceptance on Friday but Big East bylaws require notice 27 months before a school can withdraw. The complaint alleges that the Big East agreed to West Virginia’s immediate withdrawal by accepting a $2.5 million down payment on its $5 million exit fee. TCU accepted an invitation to join the Big East in September but switched to the Big 12 in October and was not required to honor the 27-month notice requirement. Big East spokesman Chuck Sullivan said “TCU never started with the Big East because they had not formally joined the conference, which would have been July 1, 2012, they were subject only to the financial component.”

The Big East said:
“We are disappointed that West Virginia has adopted this strategy and cannot imagine why it believes it does not have to respect and honor the bylaws it agreed to as a member of the Big East. Based on an initial review of the lawsuit, it is clear that the allegations and claims in it are false and inaccurate. Certainly there is nothing in it that would justify WVU’s not fulfilling its obligations. To put it simply, a contract is a contract,”

West Virginia’s lawsuit says other Big East football members Connecticut, Louisville, Rutgers and Cincinnati have been engaged in discussions with other sports conferences. Pitt and Syracuse left the Big East which left only 6 football members and 8 non-football members. That is an imbalance not contemplated by the bylaws. So when the Big 12 extended its invitation Friday the Mountaineers accepted.

“As the Big East, in less than two months, had denigrated into a non-major football conference whose continued existence is in serious jeopardy, WVU had no choice but to accept the Big XII’s offer,” the lawsuit says.

Barcelona beats Manchester United: 3-1

The picture above is what I would have liked to see. I would have liked Man U to play hard and be able to say they won. That did not happen, it seemed at times that United didn’t want to play the game. Yeah, there were a few bad calls against them and some that went unheard that should have been called. Although United played better than 2009 in Rome; they still did not have what it takes to win. The European Cup would go to Barcelona instead.

Lionel Messi considered one of the best players in the world, scored his first goal for Barcelona on English soil. This is Barcelona’s fourth Champions League win. This will not end the arguments about them being named among the best teams ever but it helps their case.

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola could tell that United would not be able to respond to the 3 point lead. Ro be honest anyone watching the game felt it was over after the 2nd score. His team had played a better game and two of the points were basically gifts.

Lil’ Wayne makes Green Bay Packers Anthem (Green & Yellow)

Well if you wanted to know what team Lil’ Wayne is going for, wonder no more. He is a Packers fan so what does a rap star do to show support? Sorry, not a trick question.  He just dropped a remix to  the over played song “Black & Yellow” he calls it “Green & Yellow”  Now I wonder if Wiz will record a Superbowl version for the Steelers?

Steelers vs. Ravens: Steelers Win Again

Steelers vs. Ravens: This was going to be a an epic fight. It was not at the start. When Ravens pulled out by two touchdowns. Everyone thought it was over. Except the Steelers who fought back with 21 unanswered points.  Then went on to win the game. It was sad to see but to be expected. The game between these two defensive powerhouses are never blow outs.  Rather they are war. This time as in the past Steelers won again 31-24. Next year they will be at it again.
