PITTSBURGH -- During the Coaches Caravan in May, Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour fielded questions about the future of the Pitt-Penn State football rivalry.
On Tuesday, it was Pitt athletic director Heather Lyke's turn.
Lyke, who was announced as the Panthers' new athletic director in March, sat down with local media for an hour-long roundtable on Tuesday. When asked about the topic, Lyke said she hasn't yet had a formal conversation with Barbour.
"I know Sandy well and I obviously have profound respect for her," Lyke said. "We would love to continue with any type of ongoing football games against Penn State if possible.
