I think the Pitt basketball program would be very much against leaving as the Big East basketball conference is a huge money maker for the school.
Paterno has been on board with this for awhile and though many assume he has a grudge against Pitt he recommended the Big Ten look at them for expansion.

It would be nice to have a Big 10 Championship game as I am sure it would get great ratings.
