I would personally welcome them but I understand that some of you may not. Playing Pitt is more relevant than playing Indiana and Nebraska because they are a Northeastern program and kind of a regional rival. What do y’all think?

The moron who wrote it said PSU would say hell no to Pitt joining right after he said he hasn't spoken to anyone at Penn State - either a complete dope or gifted mind reader but when it comes to anything sPitt I bet the farm on the former. I wouldn't mind them joining for the never ending fun of the clown patrol on the Liar predicting a victory every year against PSU and getting boat raced very year and the excuses they try to make for it - gold jerry.The article is a hilarious attempt to make Pitt seem like they are relevant. They are not!
Pitt hasn’t been relevant since the Dan Marino days in the early 1980s.
It is mostly old timer fans holding on to past glory years (40+ years ago) when an eastern regional rival was relevant. Today, Pitt vs. Penn State is irrelevant from a national perspective.
The majority of Penn State fans are more focused is on the big boy match-ups with prime time programs like Ohio State, USC, and Michigan.
From a $$$ standpoint schools in the Carolinas and Florida are far more attractive. Also, far better road trips in the fall.I would personally welcome them but I understand that some of you may not.

I agree. Not worth it.Nope. Sorry. They get only 15-20,000 fans per game other than us, ND, or WVU. Not worthy.
Why not Akron, Toledo, or Lehigh? Same caliber of program. Pitt has no fan base, no stadium, 3* or less recruits, no campus, and an arrogant humorless jerk for a coach. We play enough patsies every year. We don’t need another.I would personally welcome them but I understand that some of you may not.

Paterno is over. This is 2023.No thanks. Their toilet of a website is still posting lies, trying to pin crap on Paterno, moaning about the B10.

Georgia and Alabama play 10 patsies per year.Why not Akron, Toledo, or Lehigh? Same caliber of program. Pitt has no fan base, no stadium, 3* or less recruits, no campus, and an arrogant humorless jerk for a coach. We play enough patsies every year. We don’t need another.
Well in a way I'm torn, because yes we will hammer them every year, but they win because they get that Big Ten money. So on 2nd thought maybe not..They haven't got that yet.
They would get B2G money, sell a hell of a lot more tickets, and have better recruiting.Well in a way I'm torn, because yes we will hammer them every year, but they win because they get that Big Ten money. So on 2nd thought maybe not..
I fully agree in one sense, in another I don't want to lower the bar.Georgia and Alabama play 10 patsies per year.
Damn right we need another patsy.
Supposedly, we’re looking into it. And when I say looking into it, they have a site identified for a hypothetical stadium.In a go big or go home scenario, I have no issue with Pitt joining the Big Ten. We need another Indiana to balance out Washington. However, we must tie admission to a new stadium. If they don't build it, they don't join.
The 45 thousand seat stadium isn’t a problem. With the money you would receive from the BIG as a member you might be able to provide free pretzels, and hot dogs to go with the free beverages if people can stay till the game ends. That just might juice the appearance of attendance if you keep everyone on one side of the stadium facing the cameras, and tarp the other side.Supposedly, we’re looking into it. And when I say looking into it, they have a site identified for a hypothetical stadium.
But, let’s play devil’s advocate for a second. Let’s say Pitt built a 45-50,000 seat stadium in the Upper Hill behind the Olympic sports complex that is similar to Baylor’s. Would the Big Ten find that as attractive as Heinz Field, which seats 70,000 and will be undergoing significant renovations in the coming years? Obviously we’d fill the on-campus stadium while having difficulties doing so on the North Shore, but would the conference not like a larger stadium that could accommodate large visiting crowds for big games? Genuinely curious because I can see an argument either way.
Hey, we haven’t had to tarp yet!…. Just a few yellow seats here and there.The 45 thousand seat stadium isn’t a problem.

I prefer a 51-6 keychain.If Pitt joins the B1G, everybody gets a free water bottle. Who could pass up a deal like that?
Yep. That's why I think no, on 2nd glance.They would get B2G money, sell a hell of a lot more tickets, and have better recruiting.
Great to see you alive and well, RutgersAl! I am indifferent to Pitt but happy to see you back in action! I'm looking forward to your prognostications for the upcoming season. I mean that sincerely.I would personally welcome them but I understand that some of you may not.

This 100%Why not Akron, Toledo, or Lehigh? Same caliber of program. Pitt has no fan base, no stadium, 3* or less recruits, no campus, and an arrogant humorless jerk for a coach. We play enough patsies every year. We don’t need another.
BS Pitt’s program is far better than those. No where near a consistent top 25 team but not that low. And the overall sports program has made some solid gains.Why not Akron, Toledo, or Lehigh? Same caliber of program. Pitt has no fan base, no stadium, 3* or less recruits, no campus, and an arrogant humorless jerk for a coach. We play enough patsies every year. We don’t need another.
