Whether the Mountaineers and the existing Big 12 schools will be able to strike up compelling rivalries in football or other sports anytime soon, I don't know. Count me as skeptical.

West Virginia to Big 12
West Virginia will be joining the Big 12. Assuming Missouri's move to the SEC finally comes to fruition, the Big 12 will settle at 10 teams. As shown in the map below, WVU is geographically distant from all the other Big 12 schools. I heard someone on the radio say that the closest Big 12 school to West Virginia is Iowa State. According to the distance calculator at Travel Math, Morgantown, West Virginia and Ames, Iowa are 734 miles apart.
