That's a lot of potato chips

West Virginia fans hate everybody. They remember every snub and joke and bit of snark. And they never forgive, and they never, ever forget. In other words, they're a lot like West Virginians in general.

If they REALLY want to leave early

they have to throw a game this season. Best bet is to wait it out until 2013 when the MWC exit fee drops.

The panicky headline implies that BS would have to pay a fortune to move to the BEast. The real story is that they just have to give a one-year notice.
