Pittsburgh and National Championships


May 19, 2012, 11:54 AM

Everyone talks about adding Pittsburgh and Syracuse not helping our football tradition. Pittsburgh has 9 Football National Championship which is 7th in the nation and Syracuse has 1. The only SEC school with more is Alabama. So we probably doubled the total number of National Championships for the conference. The championships are old but Pittsburgh last won in in 1976, just 5 years before ours.

This is about marketablity, not results.

Duke once hosted a Rose Bowl. Who cares?

The arguments on here have been about power conferences. The only power conference right now is the SEC. The Big 12 doesn't have much of a recent tradition. All of the National Championships except for Oklahoma in 2000 and Texas in 2005 in the Big 12 are prior to ours. If changing conferences isn't about winning National Championships then why change? Florida State and Miami have won several NCs in the last 20 years what does the Big 12 have that we don't except for a proposed bowl game for their conference champions. But the verbage for that game says if they are not in line to play for the NC. Therefore it is just to compete with the Rose Bowl it isn't going to be part of the NC equation. I hope that the college presidents and ADs look at all aspects of a change rather than react to a proposal on ESPN.

Pittsburgh is about the Steelers. Pitt is an after thought.

My cousin plays OLine for Pitt. The game day atmosphere sucks.
