Sandy Barbour and new Pitt athletic director Heather Lyke exchanged congrartulatory text messages when Lyke was hired in March.
Penn State’s athletic director said she welcomed Lyke to Pennsylvania and while the two have known each other for some time, soon enough they will have another conversation about their programs and of course that dialogue will be about the football series that’s lined up through 2019. However, don’t expect the series to take place between 2020 and 2025.
“We’re scheduled out through 2019 with Pitt every year. That’s our Power-5 slot,” Barbour said Wednesday afternoon during Penn State’s coaches caravan stop in Pittsburgh. “We are scheduled out in that Power-5 slot through 2025 so it’s certainly not going to be done before then. … Heather and I have not had that conversation. We’ve had the congratulations, welcome to the state of Pennsylvania and we both know we’ll get to that conversation fairly soon.”
