Given the ND to ACC rumors, this is badly misleading. Anyone with a pulse knew Syracuse was coming. Just a question of when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Is Pitt joining next summer too? Or will they have to wait until 2014? If Pitt doesn't, it could very easily sue the Big East. Expect a similar announcement coming shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Is Pitt joining next summer too? Or will they have to wait until 2014? ESPN was reporting at lunch that Pitt would also join in the fall of 2013 but has to wait until all of the formal paperwork is done to be officially announced.

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I read that Pitt would not pay more than $5 million to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,554 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Pitt reaches deal to pay BE $7.5 million to leave. They, too, will join in 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Pitt reaches deal to pay BE $7.5 million to leave. They, too, will join in 2013. Reaches a deal? From earlier reports (months back), $7.5 million is what they were supposed to pay to leave anyway...nice "deal" by the UPitt folks...of course, leaving the BE is a "deal" in and of itself...

Brings to mind two things I've said in the past: (1) That UPitt would reach a deal of some sort. (2) That UPitt gets a VERY overblown reputation as a brainy school. The administration isn't much different. It's like going to a car dealership, seeing the sticker price, asking the salesman for the price, the salesman quoting you the sticker price, and you agree, thinking it's a good deal.

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Not a bad financial week for the Big East. $20 million total from Pitt, Syracuse, & TCU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Big East is the only Conference that makes more money off of teams that leave than teams that are in the Conference... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldgeneral 10 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 ACC gained two basketball schools. They are strengthening a weak in conference schedule. They now have 4 teams that can compete reguarly. VT will benefit from this if they can pick up a win against two of them and some other non conference games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
