Big 10 ... bunch of chumps.

ACC/Big Ten Women's Basketball Challenge nixed this season by Big Ten, says ACC

The ACC/Big Ten Challenge is continuing this season in men's basketball, but not in women's basketball. That was the Big Ten's decision, ACC commissioner John Swofford said.

The Big Ten has not responded to ESPN's request for a comment.

"The ACC was committed to playing this year's ACC/Big Ten Women's Basketball Challenge," Swofford said in a statement. "And we are disappointed for the student-athletes, coaches and fans that will not have the opportunity to enjoy this premier event in 2020."

Can you imagine the outcry that would happen if the situation were reversed and the men's challenge was canceled but the women played. But that will never happen.

Maybe the Big Ten didn't want its conference RPI to be dragged down by playing teams like Pitt

Pitt's gonna be a sleeper this year in the ACC. I predict a top 12 finish for them.

This would have been funny as hell if Pitt was a Big 12 school.
