The University of Pittsburgh Panthers
Update: Feeding the Big Ten Rumor
As of the other day, our sources seemed to deny the rumor that Pitt is heading to the Big Ten with an announcment this week.
However, we’ve been told by a reliable source that Pitt is indeed joining the Big Ten, effective 2012, and an announcement will be made public tomorrow.
Take it with a grain of salt, but this is a fairly reliable source that has yet to lead us astray.

Is your source within the University of Pittsburgh or is it a private individual with connections? My gut has been telling me this was going to happen (and I live in Big Televen county). People around here I have spoken with tell me it is legitimate but I am still a skeptic. Thanks and HTP!

My inside source also tells me that sPitt will be joining the MAC. BTW – they’re still whining about the ass waxing they took on Wednesday:)

Well it doesn’t look like any announcement is being made today. I’d be interested in hearing what your source has to say now. And the MAC? There’s a better chance of Pitt joining the ACC.

So it’s Sunday and nobody has acknowledged that their rumor and their source was wrong? What a joke. At least come back and update the fact that no announcement was made. Clowns.

RD, maybe you don’t live in Pittsburgh, but the area was just hit with 22 inches of snow and many people didn’t have power. Your right though making a quick post is much more important then making sure family is save and being able to go to work for Monday, that is if you do work.

Actually I live in Pittsburgh and am a Pitt student. I know there was a storm over the weekend, but if an announcement was going to be made by Pitt it would have been by the end of the business day on Friday. At that point the snow was not that bad and they could have acknowledged the rumor was wrong. Don’t use the storm that mostly came down Friday night as an excuse for not owning up to being wrong.

Everyone knows that Friday’s are days to announce bad news, not good news.

I have yet to speak to Dan_P, I actually haven’t spoken to him since Friday, but this morning I created an article just updating the rumor. Dan needs to approve the article. I am not sure if Dan has power or what may be wrong with him, but there is an article coming soon.
I would like to apologize if you took my comment the wrong way, I was having a bad morning when I posted it and our readers have the right to voice their opinion. We value our readers and hope you continue to read our blog and partake in debates in comments.
Hail To Pitt!

Colin Cowherd said this morning on ESPN that “The Big ten will add Pittsburgh soon.” There was no conjecture in his voice or later comments. Pretty interesting.

I saw the same thing too actually. He had some good things to say about Pitt and the city of Pittsburgh, all in the midst of ripping on every PAC-10 school. Everything I’ve read suggests that it is just a matter of time until Pitt joins, but for now it’s just speculation. I’m still not sure how I feel about the possible move, especially while we’re in the middle of the Big East basketball season. It’d be tough to see Pitt leave such a deep conference that gets to play their championships in New York. But obviously if it happens it happens. We’ll see.
