COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN W.Va. — It can be argued that the 2010s were the most consequential decade in the history of West Virginia athletics. Indeed, you’d probably have a difficult time convincing anyone that it wasn’t.
After more than a century of East Coast conference affiliations, the Mountaineers made a monumental leap to a league based in the Great Plains. There were a pair of high-profile football coaching changes. A rare trip to the Final Four. Even an Olympic gold medalist.
There was also monumental change across the face of college sports as a whole over the past decade, and that was reflected at West Virginia.
