Pitt would be a better fit for the Big Ten actually. BC and Syracuse were invited simply because of their TV markets. Frankly, I'd like to see Division I go completely to Super Conferences of 12-14 teams each. This would eventually drive the NCAA to doing away with the current Bowl structure and go to a playoff for the big boys. The ACC needs to add a 14th team to round things out. I don't see it being Rutgers or UConn though.

BC and SU don't have markets for their sports. They just happen to be in good markets for sports. SU has NO market in NY and BC is a mere blip on the Mass radar. VT's exposure on ESPN has really helped out share.
