Before PITT joined the Big East, did they have other conferences asking?

Here, let me fix that..."What if Paterno didn't want to stack the deck in his own favor with an all eastern conference?"

No. But what is interesting is that Penn State wanted to join the Big East basketball league in the early 80s but were told no because their basketball program wasnt good enough so the Big East added Pitt. I wonder what would have ultimately happened if Big East basketball added PSU back then and perhaps eventually Pitt.
If Penn State joined the Big East at the same time Pitt did, would Miami have joined the Big East or would it have chosen the ACC?
