Pitt changes stance of playing G5 programs ... for the better

Last week, Pitt athletic director Scott Barnes made a bit of news when talking about the football program's future scheduling. Specifically, the Panthers will cease playing G5 programs on the road.

"We will not continue to play home-and-home with Group of Five schools," Barnes said. "We will play them at our place as part of our scheduling plan. We will not play home-and-home."

This, of course, makes perfect sense. For years, Pitt has played non-P5 programs on the road - a move that didn't make much sense in the grand scheme of things.
