Pitt has won nine national football championships—the most of any major college program in the East and the sixth-highest total ever.College athletic programs to never win an NCAA Championship in any sport. I remember reading something about Kansas State never winning so I was curious what other programs have never won, especially P5. Perhaps this deserves it's own thread, but how about this list.
Which P5 (and other) schools have never won a NCAA title? - MWC Sports Forum - MWC Message Board (mwcboard.com)
OK for this discussion we are not recognizing these "championships."Pitt has won nine national football championships—the most of any major college program in the East and the sixth-highest total ever.
Under Coach Johnny Majors in 1976, Pitt completed a miraculous turnaround by rolling to a 12–0 record and claiming the school’s ninth national title. Just five seasons earlier, the Panthers had gone 1–10.
The legendary John Bain "Jock" Sutherland coached Pitt to five national titles. His 1937 team ranked as the best in the land, with a 9–0–1 record. Among the Panthers’ vanquished opponents that year were Penn State (28–7), Notre Dame (21–6), Nebraska (13–7), Wisconsin (21–0), and West Virginia (20–0). The tie was a 0–0 deadlock with Fordham.
Under Glenn “Pop” Warner, Pitt won three national titles in four years. Considered one of the greatest coaches in football history, Warner directed the Panthers to unanimous titles in 1915, 1916, and 1918. During that period, Pitt won 30 straight games.
Since you are including ancient history, pre 1940, the most football titles are with programs in the East, Princeton and Yale, and Pitt isn’t even close.Pitt has won nine national football championships—the most of any major college program in the East and the sixth-highest total ever.

If Villanova goes FBS the C7 becomes the c6 and probably doesn't leave. While the OBE would still have been among the weakest of the P6 is still would have survived.Villanova should have went FBS. But they probably knew they'd be in the American right now, which is why they probably didn't upgrade!
One thing to be said about some schools in the AAC, some are definitely advancing very rapidly to get ahead of Louisville academically. I suppose UL leaves the intelligentsia stuff to UC.
The PAC-12 is very weak right now.If Villanova goes FBS the C7 becomes the c6 and probably doesn't leave. While the OBE would still have been among the weakest of the P6 is still would have survived.
1985? Yep, I remember.Remember when Villanova was second tier behind the football playing Big East schools? I remember.

Notre Dame wants to play Texas yearly, so that is a good number 16, but 20 is the way to go. You have 4 pods of 5, just switch the pods every year. You end up playing everyone ousige your pod in 3 years.With the ACCN the per team payout will be in the 35-40 million range. That money has paid for facility upgrades at Pitt, SU & BC.
Cincinnati and WVU are two likely options for the 16th ACC spot. It’s also possible that the ACC just adds ND and stays at 15 members, dropping division play like they did this year.
BC, Cuse, and Pitt fans talk more about money than people who work on Wall Street. Because in the end that's all they've got.With the ACCN the per team payout will be in the 35-40 million range. That money has paid for facility upgrades at Pitt, SU & BC.

100%. Last night was the most excited we've been for a UConn Basketball game in years and if not for covid, we would have been at the Garden enjoying the annual tradition. Big East Tournament. NYC. MSG.BC, Cuse, and Pitt fans talk more about money than people who work on Wall Street. Because in the end that's all they've got.
It amazes me that a sport (football) drives the bus for BC, SU and Pitt considering they will NEVER, EVER, EVER win a championship in that sport.
But that's what is driving the bus. Football and it's money. Which leads to no more MSG and regional rivals. And playing in a Dixie conference.
Yes, UConn's current setup isn't the most conducive to landing the big bucks. But as a fan? I love the Big East and Hockey East. I have no itch to run to the ACC anymore. Give me the BET and MSG every friggin year. And soon the TD garden on Final 4 Hockey East nights.
4 pods of 4 teams each and 4 super conferences gives you a sweet 16 (pod champions) that leads to a final 8 (conference championship games) that leads to the 4 team playoff.
9 game schedule with 3 games in your pod and 2 games each against the other 3 pods. You play every team at least every two years.
