Does a bigger budget guarantee more Big 12 basketball wins? We're crunching the numbers to see if WVU is actually getting a return on its investment. The 2024–25 Big 12 season was a financial arms race. With new heavy hitters like Arizona joining the mix, the cost of competing at the top of the toughest conference in college basketball has never been higher. But as the dust settles, the data tells a shocking story: some programs are buying wins, while others are just burning cash. In this episode, we break down the Cost Per Win for every program in the Big 12. We're putting West Virginia under the microscope—ranking their $10.8M budget against the rest of the conference to see if that is why they're currently "stuck" in the middle of the pack when it comes to results on the court. In this video, we also cover: the WVU Women's basketball team and their upcoming path to a Final Four run. Former WVU football quarterback Nicco Marchiol may have found a new home at a Big Ten program. Is it a good fit for him and what are his chances to win a starting job? ____________________________________ Sources: Song: Smoke Rising Music by: CreatorMix.com Video: https://youtu.be/_oaZzkn0bW4 Extra Points: https://www.extrapointsmb.com/p/here-s-what-it-costs-to-make-a-run-in-march-madness ____________________________________ Get Your Tailgating Stuff HERE: http://victorytailgate.pxf.io/CouzCornhole Couz's Corner Merch Store: https://couz-shop.fourthwall.com/ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGQsDxC1nVegCKqyoMKnL9w/join Other Ways To contribute to the channel: Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Justin-Walker-516 PayPal: https://paypal.me/couzscorner?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US Fanatics link: http://fanatics.93n6tx.net/eKxbVr Subscribe: https://youtube.com/c/CouzsCornerSports Socials: Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/couzwalker TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@couzscorner?

Senior standouts Jordan Harrison and Sydney Shaw reflect on their season, their careers in Morgantown, and what it means to host NCAA Tournament basketball at home. The talented tandem also answers a series of fun and insightful questions that reveal a side of the players Mountaineer fans don't always get to see. 3 Guys returns Thursday with a full preview of Saturday's NCAA Tournament game and a look ahead to the upcoming College Basketball Crown tournament involving the WVU men's team.

In today's episode, we're breaking down Pete Thamel's latest report and what it means for the future of the Big 12 & WVU football. If the SEC and Big Ten are preparing for a full-scale breakaway, where does that leave West Virginia and the conference they call home? In this episode, we discuss: The Tampering "Free-for-All": Why the Big Ten wants to stop investigations and how this legalizes poaching players from schools like WVU. The Breakaway Blueprint: Is the SEC/Big Ten "Joint Advisory Group" actually a shadow government for a new Super League? WVU's Survival Strategy: Can Brett Yormark and the Big 12 keep pace with the "Power 2" revenue gap, or is the gap becoming an uncrossable canyon? The Mountaineers have survived realignment before, but this might be the toughest climb yet. Let's talk about it. In the second half of the show, Couz will talk about two WVU football players who may have earned themselves a spot on NFL rosters. West Virginia had their pro day early this week and two players stood out above the rest. Couz will tell you why Michael Coats Jr. and Jeff Weimer had such good days and could play at the next level. _____________________________________________________ Sources: Song: Smoke Rising Music by: CreatorMix.com Video: https://youtu.be/_oaZzkn0bW4 WV SportsNow: https://wvsportsnow.com/results-of-big-return-of-wvu-pro-day/ ESPN: https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/48179606/big-ten-asks-ncaa-pause-tampering-inquiries-revamp-rules CBS Sports: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2026-nfl-combine-results-full-list-measurements-40-times/ _____________________________________________________ Get Your Tailgating Stuff HERE: http://victorytailgate.pxf.io/CouzCornhole Couz's Corner Merch Store: https://couz-shop.fourthwall.com/ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGQsDxC1nVegCKqyoMKnL9w/join Other Ways To contribute to the channel: Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Justin-Walker-516 PayPal: https://paypal.me/couzscorner?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US Fanatics link: http://fanatics.93n6tx.net/eKxbVr Subscribe: https://youtube.com/c/CouzsCornerSports Socials: Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/couzwalker TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@couzscorner?

Brad Howe in Manhattan, Kansas with a preview of WVU/K-State MBB.Comments from WVU football coach Rich Rodriguez on the start of spring practice Saturday. 

Did West Virginia make a mistake? A recent ranking by On3's Andy Staples has some WVU football and sports fans in general talking. Staples ranked WVU 9th out of 10 schools in terms of "happiness" with their 2010s conference realignment moves—placing them near the bottom of the list. In this video, Couz breaks down the Staples ranking and explains why he strongly disagrees with this assessment. Is the travel burden really enough to outweigh the benefits of Big 12 membership? We look at the landscape of college football since the collapse of the Big East, the alternative options (or lack thereof), and why the Mountaineers might be exactly where they need to be. In this video, we discuss: The Staples Ranking: Why On3 put WVU at #9. The Travel Factor: Is the "Eastern Island" narrative overblown? Success on the Field: How WVU stacks up against other realignment "winners." Couz's Take: Why Andy Staples missed the mark on this one. What do you think? Should WVU be higher on the "happiness" scale, or has the move to the Big 12 been a disappointment? Drop a comment below!

Next, we look at a potential in-state recruiting "miss." Landyn Moore, the standout athlete from Princeton High School, has officially picked up an offer from Oklahoma State. Is WVU in danger of letting one of West Virginia's best homegrown talents head to a Big 12 rival? Finally, we discuss the news of WVU buying a hotel. We explore the possibility of this becoming a brand-new revenue stream for the athletic department. Could this move provide the financial boost needed to keep up in the ever-changing landscape of college football?

The atmosphere at West Virginia games is legendary—but it could be better.⚡️ Couz is joined by Tyler from  @TheCoalCountryPodcast . They look at the data and the "vibe check" of the current WVU football entrance music. From the classic traditions to the need for more hype, it's time to discuss how the Mountaineers can own their entrance and add it to the best tradition in college football, singing Country Roads. Are these the songs we need; For Whom the Bell Tolls, Hells Bells, or something else? The guys will also join the fan discussion around former WVU football legend Bruce Irvin joining Rich Rodriguez's staff as a position coach. They will each give their opinions on the matter. Finally, they will discuss the cornerback room and why there is a concern about that position going into the 2026 season.

Analysis of WVU's win over UCF.MSAC Commissioner Jim Hamrick on the passing of Hall of Fame HSFB coach Roger Jefferson. Comments from Mountaineer baseball coach Steve Sabins on weekend sweep of Georgia Southern. 

The bubble talk is no longer hypothetical. With six Big 12 games remaining, West Virginia has officially entered the NCAA Tournament at-large conversation. The path is there — but so is the pressure. Saturday's gritty, come-from-behind win at UCF may have changed the tone of the season. The Mountaineers showed toughness, late-game execution and the kind of resilience that the selection committee notices. Now comes another opportunity Wednesday night against Utah. In this episode, the “Guys” break down what flipped the switch in Orlando, analyze the remaining schedule and explain exactly what WVU must do to secure its postseason fate. Hoppy returns to the studio with a fresh batch of Obvious Observations, and listener questions and comments close the show with Textual Healing. The stretch run is here.

It's a special edition of 3 Guys Before The Game. West Virginia football player Nick Krahe joins the show to discuss off-season workouts, leadership, and the mindset inside the Mountaineer program. The “Guys” also preview this weekend's matchup between WVU and UCF, as the Mountaineers and Knights—along with No. 22 BYU—enter the weekend tied for sixth place in the Big 12. With a crowded middle of the standings, the stretch run will determine who rises from the logjam. Hoppy goes full “Show and Tell” with Obvious Observations, and listener questions and comments complete the episode with Textual Healing.

It's a pivotal pause in the Big 12 grind for the West Virginia basketball team.

A season sweep is on the line as the Mountaineer basketball team heads to Cincinnati on Thursday night. West Virginia edged the Bearcats 62–60 in Morgantown earlier this season, but Cincinnati has been formidable at home, posting an 11–2 record inside Fifth Third Arena, including a win over nationally ranked Iowa State. In this episode, the “Guys” dive into the numbers, break down matchups, and identify the keys to victory. Hoppy delivers Obvious Observations, and listener questions and comments complete the episode with Textual Healing.
