Respect for Pitt???? Within the ACC Community? Need outsiders thoughts

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

I didn't think the ACC was interested in UCONN, I thought it was the Big Ten. Big Ten wanted NYC market, and I believe the two schools it vetted were UCONN and Rutgers, and ultimately decided to go with Rutgers.

What's funny is "The NYC Market", first of all, I am guessing there 10-15% who are any kind of college football fans. And most of them are gamblers. Secondly, I would think Penn State delivers as much of that market as a Rutgers or UConn (or Syracuse) unless we factor basketball.

I don't disagree with that, but I don't think the cable companies realized that. In order to get Big Ten Network on TVs in that market, they needed a "local" university from what I always heard.
