Sep 17, 2011 - In the latest episode of Days Of Our Li...conference realignment, it appears that Syracuse and Pittsburgh are about to bolt from the Big East for the bright lights and slightly less mediocre football of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Both Syracuse and Pitt have submitted letters of application to the ACC, and according to a representative from the Big East, "There is no scenario where a president applies to a league and isn't admitted."

1. Amazing changes coming. ACC is hunkering down; $20 million to leave.

I think the next two weeks are going to be astounding in realignment.

2. Yep.

The ACC decided not to wait around to see and to be proactive. It's going to be interesting to watch the dominoes fall.

3. Holy shit, that didn't take long...

4. Wouldn't be surprised to hear Texas as the next new ACC school

later this week. One reason is they can keep the Longhorn Network in the ACC, while they have to fold it into the Pac-12 network. Of course they could go independent too.
