They don't want to be stuck another year if Boise backs out, so get the paperwork in now.

RE: Pitt Suing the Big East
We should probably wait for miko33 to come in here and tell us all of the specifics on this. After all, he knows a guy who knows a guy, can talk about how being in a conference with Boise State is a violation of Pitt's academic integrity, how they should not have to resort to courts and paperwork because The Big East needs to understand this is the right thing to do in letting Pitt leave, and how MSG should also tell The Big East they should forfeit the conference Tournament at The Garden to the ACC because no one in New York state knows where SMU is.
He is probably writing up his rough draft right now. He just needs to find a few more words over seven letters to make it look good.

Not sure why you are calling me out specifically, but Pitt is doing the right thing in order to get out of the BE as fast as reasonably possible. The BE did not enforce the 27 month waiting period, and it is clear that the conference was merely playing games and not willing to work with Pitt in good faith.
The greed of the BE confernce knows no bounds. It's the lust for money that the BE conference suffers from that will be its ultimate demise. That and the hybrid nature of the conference which brings structural instability.

I don't think it's quite the same. Pitt did their best to work with the BE in good faith, yet the BE could only see $$$$$. WVU did not try very hard to work with the BE before it want instantly to the lawsuit path.

I am pretty sure The Big East said if they get their conference built Pitt and Syracuse was leaving early anyway. But people like miko thinks they should throw them a goodbye party, set around the fireplace telling stories, pass around gifts. play spin the bottle, hug and kiss, say goodbye with teary eyes. and everything else. You saw how quick he jumped on this. Took him all of 3 minutes. Like a fat boy climbing a tree because some cute girl said he would get a present if he can make it to the tree house.

Sorry, but your perceptions of me are way off. Anyways, it would be nice if you could stay on topic in threads instead of trying to make them all about me. There is no reason for you to make this thread about me. I know that I have a legendary status on the BBS boards, but your hero worship of me is too much. Just stay on topic, and if I find the topic interesting I'll post in the thread.
Regarding the lawsuit, Pitt is doing the right thing. The BE has not lived up to its promises to the conference members - especially to the original FB playing members - and Pitt is more than justified in trying to get out early. That's just how it is.

SMU got in because they had the history, but also because they were relatively speaking close to Houston.
