Pitt and Penn State will play each other in football this weekend for the first time since 2000, and then they’ll play in each of the next three seasons before the series takes another hiatus.
It’s a shame, really, that these two schools can’t figure out how to make this an annual game. The subject of why they don’t/can’t play has been in the spotlight this week, and there have been plenty of theories floated about it.
One that is often thrown out there is that this game would still be happening — in the form of a league game — had the Big East just accepted Penn State as a member in 1982.
