Rumor has it that Pitt will join the Big 10
Rumors are swirling in the virtual world that Pitt is joining the Big 10 conference. Some have doubts about the rumors, while others, including Ben Maller, see it happening.
Maller reports:
University of Pittsburgh athletics are moving to the Big 10 conference, according to sources close to the school.
Some athletes were informed of the move over the weekend, a little birdie tells me. This move sets up the natural rivalry with Penn State who joined the conference in 1990. It also gives the Big 10 another east coast presence.
Pitt will become the 12th school in the Big 10, with an official announcement expected by Thursday. This means you’ll be seeing a Big 10 football title game.
Neither the Big 10 nor the University of Pittsburgh has confirmed or denied this report. The Matador will keep you apprised of the latest developments.
