Conference realignment is all the rage in college sports right now, and two high-profile Big East schools may really shake things up.

The New York Times reports that Syracuse and Pittsburgh are discussing with the ACC a possible move to the conference.

The Times report says that no one from Syracuse, Pitt or the ACC denied the report, yet they also didn’t offer a comment at all.

A potential move for the two Big East powerhouses would be the latest shakeup in an rapidly changing conference landscape. The move, as pointed out by the Times, would be the latest development in the trend of developing super conferences

Syracuse was one of the founding members of the Big East, one of the most popular college conferences in the nation. Pitt joined just three years after the conference’s inception.
