[QUOTE="topdecktiger, post: 129496397, member: 1459051"] Ok, first problem. You are the one classifying Pitt as an albatross, not the ACC. The only other school the ACC wants is Notre Dame. Outside of that, there isn't a better available upgrade from Pitt out there. The other good ones are already in a P5 conference, so there wouldn't be anyone worth trading. Second problem. Agreeing to that kind of trade absolutely could damage the stability of the GOR. If the ACC did that for Pitt, it could set a precedent if another school like Florida ST wanted to leave.
