The Pennsylvania taxpayers paid hundreds of millions of dollars to build their basketball arena. This is what we get for it. The arena should be sold to the hospital complex and turned into a needed parking garage. pitt can play their basketball games at a local high school to match their caliber of play.
They'd struggle just as badly in the new Big East. They have no one left that could rekindle the recruiting pipelines that went away when the joined the ACC. They'd be better served dropping to the Atlantic 10 where they may be able to compete in basketball and other sports.Pitt and Boston College are just a bad fit for the ACC. The ACC is UNC and Duke, with cameo appearances by Miami and NC State now and then, which is why Maryland bolted for the B1G. Pitt and the others have about as much chance of success in the ACC as the Washington Generals have against the Harlem Globetrotters. If Pitt were smart (ha) they would pull the plug on football and go back to the Big East.

Just curious why Pitt is such a failure in the ACC but so many feel Penn State would be a better fit in the ACC than the B1G.
Maryland will be OK in the long run, at least in basketball. Maryland has a tradition and boatloads of money. Pitt has...well, gimme a week & I’ll think of something.What happened to maryland? Did leaving the ACC hurt their program? The wrong coach?

Prior to the addition of Maryland and Rutgers we were on an island within the B1G. The geography was obvious but a large portion of our alumni base was outside of the conference footprint. One of the main arguments for being in the ACC was being able to connect with alumni. Maryland (22,000+) and New Jersey (29,000+) are home to two of the largest alumni populations outside of PA so that problem is somewhat remedied.I get that Penn State > Pitt. But this was the original post.
If the ACC is Duke and North Carolina, what gives us a chance to succeed? I realize this is a basketball statement. But why would we be able to compete with FSU and Clemson for top talent in ACC territory? To me it has always seemed like we are a lot more like the B1G schools and athletic departments than the ACC. So just curious what others think.
Penn State is a lot more like the B1G schools academically as well, aside from similar origins. Without having to name names, some of the ACC schools are nowhere near Penn State.I get that Penn State > Pitt. But this was the original post.
