Closest opponent for WVU is Iowa State: 871 miles, give or take a few
If the Big East did not dismantle and TCU would have stayed, their closest opponent Louisville would be 868 miles, give or take a few....
So boomerrang or not, it's not about the miles, it's about what's best for the future. I'm not saying the Big 12 was a great decision, but it's better than going down with a sinking ship..
