As Per The Rivalry Esq., Expansion Rumor Mill heating up
Apparently there has been a good bit of rumbling that the Big11 is already having substantive talks with Pitt about joining the conference. If this is true, most people seem to think that it is inevitable that the league will try to go to 14 teams.
Nothing substantial, but I suppose it might be worth noting.

WHAT ??!!
No teams from Florida ??? I love the night life, I like to boogie, I love the Rumor Mills !!
If we add Pitt, we go to 14 teams.
They’re not nearly a big enough team to make a splash for the 12th team.

Actually
Strictly in terms of football and basketball, they’re the best match.
They just don’t bring any eyeballs to the BTN, so I have a hard time believeing this.

wierd
Yeah, I’m not buying it. This isn’t going to be like hiring a new head coach, or a kid transferring to another school.
My guess is that if and when we bring in another team we’ll have a slow march with weeks of speculation and build up before its finally announced. Oh, and you don’t tell a bunch of 18-22 year olds with twitter accounts anything you want to keep a secret. That’s just silly.

There may be something to this.. What if it is the first in a chan of dominoes. a mass gutting of the big east
. A Joepather move tp get revenge against the big east folk for shooting down his eastern conference…… insert evil laugh here about joepas diabolical plan ot get revenge.

I would really dig a Pitt + 2 more scenario.
Black Shoes. Basic Blues. No Name. All Game.
"Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the mouth."
Ok, for Real no announcement.
As some of you know, I’m a Pitt student. I called a contact of mine with the athletic department; they said that the Athletic Director did meet with all of the athletes, and many athletes thought the meeting would be about a conference change, but that was not the purpose of the meeting. I dunno if that’s what they were supposed to tell me or what, but my contact says no conference announcement was made to Pitt’s student athletes.
I talked to a friend of mine that's on a team here
And he had no comment. So, that doesn’t add anything, but I think maybe we can use it to feed the speculation.
Like, if today was opposite day, “no comment” could be code for “no,” which means “yes.” So… go with your heart.
(Frankly, I’ll only believe Pitt’s in this thing if Texas is coming first and we need a new eastern team).
