Adding Pitt, or Syracuse, or WVU, or any run of the mill P5 school, doesn't do anything for the Big 10. They need to add USC and Notre Dame, or Clemson and FSU. They will be fine as a conference as long as Ohio State doesn't bolt(they won't, unless they can stay in the academic alliance), but if they want to get more powerful and rich, adding some average programs isn't going to accomplish that. Outside of Clemson, FSU, Notre Dame, USC and Oregon, I dont see why the Big Ten needs to add right now. They have a lucrative academic setup. They are swimming in research money. Those schools make so much by being in the Big Ten. They make more from the Big Ten Academic Alliance than the SEC makes in football. No one is leaving that set up.
