After a lot of speculation and some cryptic language, Scott Barnes' tenure as athletics director at Pitt finally came to an end last week. With all of that, I wanted to take a look back at the Barnes era at Pitt and, while it may be an unpopular opinion based on his basketball hire, there's not really much doubt that he did a good job at the university.
Now, full disclosure here. Most of our regular readers know that I'm a member of Pitt's Fan Experience Committee. The committee was headed by Barnes so take that under consideration.
