Give me a break... all of these people talking about how dishonorable it is to change conferences and how everyone should remain loyal look out for everyone else in their conference that might get hurt if they leave.  Each university needs to make the decision that's best for them... SU and Pittsburgh can't worry about what Rutgers, UCONN, WVU, Louisville, Cinci, USF, and TCU are going to do now.  It's up to those teams to do what's best for them.  Landing in the ACC makes the most sense.  SU and Pitt did not want to be part of some bastardized conglomeration of Big East and Big 12 leftovers, spreading the football conference from Connecticut to Texas in football and becoming extremely bloated and out of control in basketball.  They wanted to move into a conference where there was long term stability, and good compatibility academically and athletically.  This is the right thing to do, and makes sense for SU, Pitt, and the ACC.  This is a long time coming, and certainly there is a bit of sadness at leaving the Big East, but unfortunately this was set in motion when BC, Va Tech, and Miami left back in the early 2000's and recent events with conference realignment finally pushed this across the finish line.
