And all of them had signed contracts, last year was BC, this year buffalo who signed the contract back in july of 2005 backs out 1 week before wvu was to send in officle schedule and they had to scramble to find a game or would of been stuck and they still got stuck like the past 5 years and not 1 d1 team would play them that had a open date there were 7 teams all said no thanks so had to have ewu fly in for big payday buff was going to make more then any game they had this year in refanew. i don't care if a team backs out in jan but in april is pure chicken shit BC did same thing at last min , maybe because wvu had beat bc 16 out of last 20 games. but you give a team time to find another team. Also wvu will shock you with their passing game they have 6 top big and fast wide outs 2 over 6'6 who can fly got 1 away from ohio.st and osu really wanted him 6'6 speed burner with great hands. watched tape of wvu's spring game it was also on espnu and white looks great throwing ball and so did bednarik, also have a 6'6 290 te/fb with good speed and hands come in not that they need a fb back will see time at tight end they are bigger and faster and quicker then last years team and line is bigger,quicker,and stronger then last years line on both sides of the ball, backfield on off is 4 deep and on deff they won't miss a beat more speed and height in db spot then last year which had some leaders, so should be a stronger team then last year if they do the job they got back 46 guys who saw game time and 2/3rds of them so good bit of game time so they will be ok, nice move turner gill it was his call not the mac saying they had to play n.ill on the 9th of sept. mac new buff had this game already. last year wvu had to pick up wofford with only 8 days left when bc backed out to play powerhouse army. 2004 miami(backed out had 1 year left) said no thanks to wvu home game that was 4th game of year for wvu and they had to play james madision 2002 s.carolina backed out with 16 days left to play wvu in opener and usc picked up utep and wvu got stuck with tenn.chat

not much excuse to schedule Buffalo to begin with...most of these non-conference schedules are jokes...with the Big East so week WVa may find themselvbes out of the title hunt on schedule alone...

your facts are a little off. not defending buffalo at all but... WV knew Buffalo was backing out of this contract since about December. nothing was made official because MAC was trying to find a replacement team for Buff so Buff wouldnt suffer such a harsh cash penalty.

also i dont know the numbers but buffalo did not back out of their biggest payday of the year. actually they backed out because another team offered them like 3 fold what WV did. and they have two other games that are also paying more then WV. im not gonna loook up the numbers but someone else can if they feel like it.

BC did this because of the royal ass reeming they recieved in the last year they were in the Big East. As a college they madde a commitment to never play a Big East team again unless it was in a bowl
