Programs at roughly the same level as ours
Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Kansas State, Michigan State, Missouri, NC State, Minnesota, Iowa to name a few.
In a year when win-loss record means nothing in getting a bowl, how many of these schools will opt out?
I predict none.
Opting out by Pitt should leave no doubt of how serious ( or not ) Pitt is in being a big time football program. This is NOT the move of a school that takes football seriously and its bullshit.
The bowl game Pitt would play in would be just after Christmas, allowing the kids a week to 10 days to go home. That is such a lame excuse.
A decision like this suggests Pitt is quite happy where they are. Sure, they give lip service to " being better", but as I said, it's all bullshit.
They might as well keep Narduzzi as long as he wants to stay here......keep pumping out 6-7 win seasons and be happy with the same mediocrity we have seen for 35 effing years.
