Pitt would probably be happier in the ACC (if not the Big Ten, where they are really a perfect fit aside from being in a redundant market) with their academic pedigree. I think they'd obviously have to accept a bid to the SEC, though. And, I think the WVU/Pitt tandem would bring some football and basketball value, a new market, and not really tip the balance of power by adding a new power (which Texas, Oklahoma, or possibly FSU or Miami would do).
