Pros:
- Pitt is the second-best team (or third at worst if you think Temple is better) in that conference today
- Pitt has the second-most resources (or third at worst if you think Maryland has more)
- Reinstates Pitt's biggest rivalry game
- Much more possibility to make the playoff
- Easy drives to games
- Very little diversity in scheduling
- Harder to recruit where high school football is booming
- Only three fun gameday atmospheres for away fans (PSU, Army, Navy)
- Never play ND again
- Is money tied to the conferences? Because Pitt would lose a lot of funding with these lesser schools in the conference.
