Thanks for confirming my point. Do you not see how foolish you are talking about 2012 teams in 2021? You wanna talk WMU/Pitt fine. Not sure what that has to do with WVUs pathetic team this year but fine. Bringing up games from a decade ago reeks of frustration and insecurities.
Thanks for proving my point. PITT fans are stupid.

Look for it in 10 years or less.

I seem to recall people claiming Big East would never be raided or Big 12 will never be raided. ACC has already been raided see Maryland.

My prediction is 20 years from now tOSU will have 16 Big Ten Titles in the bag to go with the 3 Natties. At the end of the day does it even matter for Pitt and WVU what happens in college football. Pitt has a chance to stay at the big boy table. Appears for the time being WVU may be on outside looking in. Until the next Big12 contract is established no one knows. If they get $30 mill per team WVU has a punchers chance. If it’s $20 mill per team they are done.

@WVUFanForever you want to join the conversation and add content value? Or just continue with your annoying little brother routine? @TownesVanZandt you want to be civil or should we expect Dennis the menace to slop the thread up?

No. I just agree with King that tOSU is one of top 3 programs and I post the truth.
I see the ExLax hasn't worked. Try a Fleet, forcing yourself, then your fingers. PiT will be out of 1A in ten years because of financial problems. No team will be pursued unless they add to the B10 footprint.

Well now that boosters can legally pay 18-19 year olds millions of dollars in NIL deals, only the Ohio States, Alabama’s , USC, Clemson, LSU, Texas, Oklahoma, etc. can afford to buy players and stock their rosters. It’s just a matter of time before the big split of the big boys into the mini-NFL.

Agree with you that college football is officially a shitshow for haves and have nots. Sucks.

Your helter skelter alter handle is actually making me giggle. Weird but I see some value in my puppet box for this handle. Keep at it and work on your craft.
I can see where it gets old roto rooting your *** with your middler on the Panturd Liar making up continual BS about your big brother that owns PiT. Explains how boredom and ******** drove you here. Especially with Penn Live out of the question.

The PAC and ACC will not be raided.
PAC won't be raided. B1G and PAC alliance goes back way too far to let that happen. SEC doesn't want that time zone. They don't need it. ESPiN doesn't care if SEC wants to stay east. B12 is in no position to raid any P5 conference.

B1G has always had eyes on more landscape in the eastern seaboard. UVA and UNC are AAU schools that fit right in with the expanded footprint that B1G covets.

SEC would take Clemson and FSU in a heartbeat. That would give SEC the two best FL schools and the best ACC school to go along with USC. VT and NCSt would be after thoughts. But given the chance Clemson and FSU would jump in a heart beat if the B1G demolished the Tobacco Road contingent.

This started out to be a good discussion. That is until Greg Jacobs turned it into a pissing contest about Pitt.

Still don't know why Vernon allows him to continue to ruin threads with his nonsense.
He's tired of talking to himself and telling lies on the Panturd Liar.

The Big Ten would want any new school to be part of the AAU. The only exception to that rule being Notre Dame.

There are 64 AAU schools in the United States and 2 in Canada.

Membership in the AAU is by invitation only, and a Membership Committee evaluates non-members and current members for invitation status periodically.

In order for schools to be considered, the universities have to pass two phases of indicators, with requirements ranging from memberships in national academies such as the National Academies of Science and Engineering and the number of research and scholarship Ph.D’s approved every year.

In 2011, when Nebraska was planning on their move to the Big Ten, controversy rose when they were expelled from AAU. The first time the group expelled a university in 111 years. The expulsion didn’t severely affect Nebraska’s chances of entering they were already approved before expulsion, but it does dim the allure of the university in the eyes of the Big Ten.

Currently, every member of the Big Ten except for Nebraska is an AAU member. In order to expand the conference, the Big Ten would want any new school to be part of the AAU.

Joining the Big Ten conference has its major benefits, with the notoriety of it being the most stable conference North of the Appalachian Mountains. However, the AAU is a massive hurdle for conferences to overcome.

UVA, UNC, Duke, Pitt and Syracuse are the only ACC teams that are AAU. In the Big 12 there is Kansas and Iowa State. Texas is AAU but chose the SEC already.

Any addition would have to add to the footprint. Leaves out PiT.

Never said anything about Pitt being invited to Big 10. Just showed the AAU schools from Big 12 and ACC.

Did your TVZ profile finally get banned so you made up this 11 year old dennis character?
