In looking at the realignment fortunes of Pitt and West Virginia since leaving the Big East, I've generally maintained that the Panthers have benefited while the Mountaineers have struggled.

The site didn't declare Pitt as one of their handful of winners, but they did claim that West Virginia came out as a loser:
