West Virginia Now Considers Joining Big Ten
The Big Ten or the Big Twelve?
West Virginia has talked with conference officials about joining the Big Ten, should it decide to expand its membership, according to Mountaineer Athletic Director Ed Pastilong.
The Big Ten presidents have already invited Penn State to join, although that situation reportedly has grown shaky because of opposition from some members.

West Virginia is independent in football and an Atlantic 10 Conference member in basketball and several other sports.
