Message: [QUOTE="omniorange, post: 317038, member: 636"] I agree with Woad here. Those numerous "reports" as I remember it all seemed to originate in the northeast. The guy to follow on this was David Glenn of the ACC Sports Journal and I remember an article that he did about week prior to the announcement that it was Texas and SU and if Texas said no it would be Pitt. Also specifically recall reading that the reason why it had to be done fast was that if Texas did indeed say no, which looked like it was going to happen, the Big 12 (with Texas' approval) was going to approach Pitt as an expansion candidate. Both the ACC and Texas believed (and probably still do believe) that Pitt was a key to possibly getting ND down the road. This factor alone would put them ahead of UConn in the pecking order, imho, even if Pitt's football brand wasn't way ahead of the Huskies, which it is. Cheers, Neil [/QUOTE]
