Pitt's recruiting surge in the past week continued earlier today as Patrick Amara committed to the Panthers .

Pitt is moving to the ACC and the conference has won 12 NCAA men's basketball National Championships.

We've all heard of John Swofford.

Of the variety of the unique tenets within the program, perhaps none set the Irish apart from others as powerfully as their annually grueling schedule.

Former Rutgers forward Derrick Randall has found a new school, as it was reported by Adam Zagoria of SNY.tv that the 6-8 rising junior will transfer to Pittsburgh .

In just over 2 weeks, Pitt will be a part of the new, 15-member ACC. Soon, the Panthers, Syracuse, and Notre Dame will leave the Big East/American for the much more stable confines of the ACC.

The question was often posed during his high school career - what would Tyler Boyd do against AAAA players? Even though it was only an All-Star game, Boyd proved he's just as good as them.

The ACC has many games that will impact the conference and national scene in the 2013 season.

Last week, CBSSportsline's Jason La Canfora created a "Worst Contracts Dream Team " in an effort to illustrate the "worst of the worst" in the league at the moment.
