    West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck delivered some pointed comments toward the Big East on his way out of the conference, saying his school was "fortunate" to get out of the league and join the Big 12.

    Luck told the Charleston Gazette over the weekend that his program was leaving the Big East "when the ship was seriously going down. I mean, only the tip of the sail was showing."

    With Pitt, Syracuse and TCU all bolting from the conference and the Big East being seen as having the least stability among leagues with automatic BCS bids, West Virginia had to consider its next move. West Virginia got its opportunity with the Big 12, and is now in a legal battle with the Big East about when it can begin play in its new conference home.
