I'll take that chance.  Who wants to be in an 8 team conference anyway
with those cast-offs.  WVU and TEch have some good teams but who cares,
they have absolutely no cachet on the national scale.  It's a joke
reading the WVU board. NOBODY wants them yet they act like they are
an ND or something.  Pitt is up and down like a yoyo.  Unless the BigEast
wants to go whole hog and make it a 12 team conference which is what every
conference is going for, why bother?
