UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour has confirmed talks to extend the Nittany Lions’ football series with Pitt but gave no indication an agreement is near.
Panthers AD Heather Lyke initially mentioned the discussions in an interview with the Canton (Ohio) Repository.
“As I’ve said many times before, I have strong appreciation for the history and tradition of the Penn State-Pitt series,” Barbour said in a statement. “Since Heather’s arrival at Pitt we’ve had discussions about the series. We have to determine how any possible future games might fit with our other scheduling requirements and objectives.
