http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story ... -july-2013Days after Syracuse announced their early exit from the Big East, Pittsburgh is following them. There's really no surprise here. The Big East will go forward with their core 12 starting in 2013.

Glad that the ACC just took on a large contingent of utter mediocrity.

They should spend that 4o million on a marketing blitzkrieg.

As far as Cuse and Pitt to the ACC, the schools are getting the way better part of that deal. I don't see those schools adding a whole lot to the ACC competitiveness-wise. And that's the ACCs problem. They are in plenty of big media markets. What's holding them back is that they can't compete on the field with the other power conferences. Pitt and Cuse add nothing there.
Exhibit A - SMU 28 Pitt 6
