Speaking in front of hundreds of assembled television cameras and media members, Garrison was vague as to the conference that WVU would eventually join.
It is too early to comment on any new conference affiliation. Garrison explained.

The administration tried to accomodate as many requests as possible, but towards the end, simply declined any new demands. This eventually led to the split.
Focus now turns toward the candidates for a new conference home for WVU. Message butch jones have been ripe with speculation, with names like the SEC, ACC, and Big 10 all tossed around.
A source close to the conference search, however, has learned of the conferences invited for initial interviews. Those conferences include the Southern Conference, Eastern 8, and the butch jones 10.
