    Ish returning

    I loved Burton, but Ish is already better than he was his first year. I expect Ish to be a big leader on this team and be the starting 2 guard.

    2024 portal thread (teams/players affiliated with Pitt opponents)

    Remember some of this are things we can't see. Like personality and how a player fits in with the rest of the team. I think that matters even more now than ever

    Jaland Staying Put

    I would be surprised if anyone else left. Heck, Bub wanted to come back but just had no choice.

    The ACC problem

    Same here, first ever ignore. I for some reason actually thought he was a fan. I think that's why he's the first. Other fans and alumni can be infuriating. But at least we have a common shared interest and love. But I didn't realize he was Virginia fan just pretending to be a fan and trolling...

    The ACC problem

    22-11 with a NET of 40 and Pitt wasn't that great of a team?? Why is this poster allowed to post here? He even admitted he's not a Pitt fan and its clear he's just trolling.

    Pitt's Value in Realignment

    CrazyPaco beat me too it. At the end of the day all these programs weight teams first based off a subjective formula to start. Especially when there isn't a lot of head to head early in the season.

    Pitt's Value in Realignment

    Well I guess we are arguing the same thing then haha. I'm ok with that. Would rather agree than disagree all in all

    Pitt's Value in Realignment

    It's not wrong because it ultimately decides tie breakers early on by those projections that are biased. Nothing can ever really catch up from there because there never is a truly meaningful sample size. None of these power teams play each other out of conference on a regular basis.

    Pitt's Value in Realignment

    With uneven schedules this happens. 4 of Kentucky's 5 losses were to the 4 best teams (Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri and Georgia) in their conference. Lousiville happened to draw a very easy conference schedule avoiding the best teams in the conference (Clemson, Florida State, UNC) and pulling an...

    Pitt's Value in Realignment

    Of course there is. Just like all the college basketball metrics, those are predicated on initial pre set rankings of teams that have no bases in anything other than reputation of the team and the conference they are in. That's why a larger playoff that incudes teams from many conferences is so...

    Pitt's Value in Realignment

    It's so hard to disprove the myth that the SEC (and to a smaller extent B10) as a whole is a stronger conference top to bottom than the others. It's just not true. It's just the top teams are so dominant that everyone assumes the rest of the conference is just as good. But if that was true we...

    UNC BOT Chair suggests leaving ACC

    I think live sports are so valuable these days because everything else is streaming and can be watched at the viewers convenience. So I definitely agree the big networks will continue to flock to them and they will command the biggest contracts. I just don't think they will automatically double...

    UNC BOT Chair suggests leaving ACC

    Yeah, but this assumes fans will continue to pay for this shrinking base of college teams. No matter how much the SEC (and to some extent the B10) tries to elevate itself to the level of the NFL it won't get there because too many fans did go to the other colleges that the Big 2 keep winnowing...

    ACC has now put 4 teams in the Sweet 16

    There is a huge disconnect between what the committee uses to select teams and what actually proves teams can perform. It's why the ACC continues to do more with less each year. But other conference teams' fans and their media will continue to try and gaslight us to belive differently.

    UNC BOT Chair suggests leaving ACC

    It's funny pretty much all the money in the world hasn't really done much for the B10. Despite always getting a pass to the CFP they didn't win moe than the ACC. And the committee did everything they could to hand Michigan the NC this year by having them avoid FSU and Georgia and picking a...

    P4 needs to have their own NCAA Tournament

    What they should do...but never will...is just eliminate the committee and give the bids out based off of how well each conference has done the past few years. Its already how they demonstrate the revenue units anyway. And its also how they do it in European soccer. The same should be for...

    Fede to the portal

    Was watching the podcast and Chris seemed to suggest maybe it was Fede who wanted to leave.

    Team voted no on NIT

    I believe the 1963 football team turned down a lesser bowl game after being passed over by the bigger bowls because the PSU game was postponed due to JFK's assasination.

    Multiple Teams decline NIT, not Pitt alone

    I'm totally bummed about it. I get UNC who usually makes the tournament. But we were in the wilderness for more than half a decade. So any post season is better than none. But if they players collectively said no...what is Capel supposed to do? Go ahead without them? And then watch half the team...

    Virginia

    It was at Virginia! Dude come on! One of only 2 losses (other one was against UNC) they had at home all season and their first in almost a year.
