Big 10 (11) to expand, Missouri willing to listen

[RedRover]

Last week, the Tribune-Review had a major story about the possibility that Pitt might join the Big Ten.

I have a master's degree from Pitt, but I have very little love for the Oakland school.

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)

It would be nice to see Pitt and Penn State play each other again.

By all measures, Notre Dame should be the 12th member of the conference. If you heard Frank Deford on NPR recently, Mississippi State makes more money from television than Notre Dame. MSU gets its money from revenue sharing in the SEC

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...

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).
