Sandy Barbour would like to see 'more respect' in Pitt-Penn State rivalry

Last season’s Pitt-Penn State football game was the first between the in-state rivals since 2000. The two teams are set to face each other each year through 2019. After that, there’s at least a six-year hiatus.

Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour, who spoke Wednesday at the Omni William Penn Hotel during the Pittsburgh stop of the Penn State Coaches Caravan, said she has yet to have discussions with new Pitt athletic director Heather Lyke about scheduling games between the two teams beyond 2025.

“Heather and I have not had that conversation,” Barbour said.
