I'm a recent graduate of Pittsburgh and have been a die-hard Pitt fan all my life, and if the Big East is raped the way the ACC wants to, it'll be terrible for Pitt and the rest of the conference. What are we supposed to use the Pete for, more Avril Lavigne concerts and basketball games against small "who cares?" schools like Arkansas Pine-Bluff and Norfolk State? Pitt and other schools in this conference are just finally getting back into the national spotlight with outstanding football and basketball programs, and the ACC threatens to destroy that all. I hear talk that Pitt could join the Big Ten, since it'd be a cold day in hell when Notre Dame gives up its lucrative football accomodations with NBC and the BCS, but aside from disliking one specific school, I generally feel indifference towards the Big Ten.

This whole thing makes me sick. The ACC is greedy and needs to be stopped. I hope this lawsuit slows it down to the point where each school threatening to leave would be committing suicide in the eyes of its students, administrators, and fans if they actually decide to fork over the $2 million and leave the Big East to die. It was a big deal in my school when something like $100,000 was spent on a bronze panther statue without the consent of the general student body; $2,000,000 is quite a few bronze statues to bitch about.
