Multiple sources are reporting that Scott Barnes, Pittsburgh’s current athletic director, will be leaving Pitt to fill the Oregon State position that has been sitting vacant since September’s abrupt departure of Todd Stansbury for the AD job at Georgia Tech.
Oregon State will likely announce the decision later this week after Barnes officially has accepted the position, but at this time has not confirmed or denied the rumors.
Oregon State tells @bobbycorser they can't confirm or deny Scott Barnes leaving Pitt for OSU AD job and it was the first theyve heard
