Erroneous reports such as one from sports radio host Ben Maller have surfaced that claim Pittsburgh is set to join an expanded Big Ten.
Apparently, the original source was a few student-athletes at Pitt who Tweeted about a meeting during which Big Ten expansion was brought up — or, more likely, not brought up.
Bottom line, a source at the conference reiterated to the Tribune on Monday that the Big Ten will adhere to the timetable it laid out in December — a 12- to 18-month period of analysis. The league will then determine whether it wants to expand and, if so, how many schools it will invite to the party.Comment

Let's be serious for a second, Pitt would not go 5-7 next year or any time in the near future.
Pitt has a great core right now, I can't predict outside of 3 years from now, but the team is solid with Top 20 talent on both sides of the ball, particularly the RBs, WRs, and DL.
To say that Minnesota and NW would beat them is pure exaggeration. They might not go 11-1, or 10-2 every year before the Big 10 Championship, but 9-3 or 8-4 isn't out of the question.
4 wins in the Big 10 are not hard to get - Illinois, Indiana, NW, Purdue, Minnesota? Pitt is better than all of those teams now and heading into the near future.
-Cue Firsttimer groan, I expect it before he even reads the post.Last edited by Pitty; 02-02-2010, 07:00 PM.Comment

I can agree with most of your psot, but the thing is you wouldn't play every team in the B10 every year. Depending on how the divisions shakeup , you may end up avoiding all four of those teams you just mentioned.Comment
