Let me get this straight: it's all about football and the money. So we're going to let college sports implode because a team that went to the Pinstripe Bowl last season (their first bowl game in six years) is jumping ship? SMH. The least relevant football conference decides this? SMH. Pitt and Syracuse: go F yourself. ACC: go F yourself. And Big East Commissioner John Marinatto, thanks for being asleep at the wheel. You let Pitt and Rutgers tell you to turn down a billion dollar contract, only to have them bail on you. Clown.
Best case scenario: pick up the Big 12 leftovers. (NOT Baylor and Iowa State.) Warrior Brad will have much more later this morning.
