WVU made it very clear  Friday — and if not with words, than with actions at the beginning the week — it was joining the Big 12 Conference and, as such, extricating itself from the Big East Conference. Yet somehow it is WVU that has filed suit against the Big East. I’m not joking.

So if you’re keeping score, the Big East voted to increase the exit fee to $10 million once a new member is added, but doesn’t add anyone in almost two weeks that followed and loses WVU.

That same school is bound for the Big 12 last Tuesday, sidetracked temporarily and then welcomed to the Big 12 Friday.

A conference call that night features Jim Clements and the WVU president says WVU is out July 1 and working to make it happen.

Today, WVU acts first and files a suit that basically asks the court to let WVU go because the Big East is a bad operation in bad shape because of bad adherence to founding principles and bad leadership.

I understand the Big East can’t file any sort of an injunction to keep WVU in the Big East, much like WVU couldn’t lock Rich Rodriguez in at WVU, but there’s nothing really stopping the Big East from doing what WVU did.

More on this as I give it a read. Feel free to offer your two cents.
