Rumor: November 17, 2004 - MU/WVU Series. "It appears, Governor-elect Joe
Manchin is
going for the mandatory Marshall-WVU match up. He says it's a must for the
state.
Apparently, he's going to lobby the Legislature to pass some sort of bill
requiring a game
... now the frequency and location trade-offs is not clear. If that doesn't
work, I also hear
ESPN is going for a mandatory match up. They think they can make good money off
the
game and are ready to tell WVU to suck it up or prepare to lose a TV contract or
two."
Thanks to JC for this opinion.
