Academically, Pitt is considered to be a strong research institution. (Why, I don't know, if you can't go to college, go to Pitt)

Not sure how long ago you got your masters, but things have really changed academically in the last 10-15 years.

As kddani said, Pitt doesn't have to be in the conference to get the game started up again - JoePa needs to quit being unreasonable.

And as for the rest of your post...ummm Jonas Salk just for starters...

Ghostwriter must have stuck their head in a snowdrift in Charlotte and had the neurons in his/her brain frozen shut.

The Charlotte reference was a joke.

Also, I never said WVU should get in because I don't care if they do or do not. I simply pointed out that there is very little difference between the academics at MO and NE vs. WVU.

Notre Dame is not joining the B10, not now and not in the foreseeable future. There are a lot of reasons not to join the B10 (and money is not one of them).
