Source: Pitt headed to Big 10

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 move sets up the natural rivalry with Penn State who joined the conference in 1990. It also gives the Big 10 another east coast presence.

Pitt will become the 12th school in the Big 10, with an official announcement expected by Thursday. This means you'll be seeing a Big 10 football title game.

Expect the Pac Ten to consider adding teams to catch up with the SEC, Big 12, Big 10 and the rest of the big boys

No word on who will replace Pitt in the Big East.
