Pitt athletics director has been on a roll lately, providing a much-needed boost to the basketball program with the hiring of new coach Jason Capel. To a lesser degree, Lyke also delighted fans by announcing a series of proposed facilities updates and that the position of cameras during basketball games will change to show the Oakland Zoo side of the arena - something long desired by a lot of the fanbase.
On Friday, the school announced it was extending her contract, adding six years to her current deal. Financial terms, as they generally are not in Pitt’s case, were not disclosed.
