## Resource

Rich Rodriguez didn't just spend Big 12 Media Days talking about West Virginia... He laid out a vision for the future of ALL of college football. Regional conferences. Historic rivalries. One massive television deal. And a return to the matchups that made the sport great. On top of that, Rich made perhaps his boldest statement yet about the 2026 Mountaineers, saying he feels West Virginia is "better all the way around." We'll break down why Rich believes this roster is different, how Nick Krahe and WVU Football reinforced that message throughout the day, why Brett Yormark's comments about WVU's exploding brand actually strengthen Rich's argument, and whether this dream could ever become reality. Could Rich Rodriguez actually be looking years ahead of everyone else? Let me know your thoughts in the comments! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
