-"In all frankness, we haven't won a national championship in football since 2005." Bowlsby noted they're frustrated with that and not making a national title in basketball since 2008.

-This will be the first year that West Virginia and TCU are on an equal revenue distribution level with the rest of the conference.

-Bowlsby notes that the "Baker Mayfield" Rule that allows interconference non-scholarship transfers was not just a rule for Mayfield's sake, was one that he believes is the right decision in the long run.
