Penn State rival Pitt to Big Ten?

The hot Internet rumors indicate a seismic shift in the college football landscape as early as this week...

Fox Sports Radio Network host Ben Maller posted the news this morning...
University of Pittsburgh athletics are moving to the Big 10 conference, according to sources close to the school. Some athletes were informed of the move over the weekend, a little birdie tells me.
This would undoubtedly beef up Big Ten basketball and would lead to a Big Ten Championship Game in football. (Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis would be the natural choice for such a game - state-of-the-art facility, centrally located, and there's little worry that Purdue or Indiana will get a home-field advantage by playing there.)

The immediate impact for Penn State football would likely be scheduling. We anticipate that it would move the Land Grant Trophy game to earlier in the season (and perhaps not every year) and we would end the regular season with Pitt.

It will be interesting to see how the divisions shake out if this rumor comes to fruition. If it happens we'll have further analysis.
