The Daily Gopher is doing Q&As with potential Big Something expansion candidates. Today was Pitt’s turn with me providing the answers. As has become almost common, from a fan and competition standpoint we are well liked. It’s just that thing that this is all about that is the problem.
In the pecking order Pitt sits behind Rutgers but ahead of Syracuse and UConn. Notre Dame, Texas and Nebraska would be ahead of the Panthers as well. And then their resume is very similar to Missouri’s. At 14, I think it is doubtful but at 16 I think they are right in the mix. Personally I think they’d be a great addition when seeing this from all angles.
But as we all know, this is all about the money for both sides. Then again, if this wasn’t about the money why would we really want Pitt out of the Big East.
Most people have come back to admitting that they are purely speculating, guessing, and just plain trying to look at the most logical scenarios. So the hype that was earlier in the week has died down.
Now, for those that missed it the final installment of the Big East Raiding Roundtable was yesterday. A bit of talk about what if your team doesn’t get in and can the Big East be saved.
