Later, he was asked about his hat. Here’s the first part of his comments  from Tuesday’s press conference.

(About the beginning and the chuckles … WVU’s sports information contact gave an announcement and then innocently stumbled a chord. Dana called that “athletic.”)

The second half, which has his insight on the Big 12 and the linked-to comments on his sky piece, are after the jump. Last several minutes are worth a listen, though.

I’m still processing today’s reception at Touchdown Terrace — and would it surprise you to know Missouri has a Touchdown Terrace? In short, WVU is either bluffing and knows more than it is saying, or WVU is scrambling. There are a lot of unresolved issues and, beyond that, basic things that cannot be answered. Like, how many sports does WVU need? Which sports does WVU have to offer?

I can add this. It is wrestling coach Craig Turnbull’s goal to play all three Big 12 schools — Iowa State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State — every year. One year, he’ll play two at home and one on the road. The next year, two on the road and one at home. The Big 12 championship is then a quad meet.

Part Two and the hat interrogation right here.
