Pitt announced on Friday night that its football team would not be participating in the 2020 postseason due to the unusual strain placed on the team this year by the COVID-19 pandemic. Pitt joined Boston College in doing so, and in both cases, the decision was made after the teams discussed the matter and held a vote.
However, as has been the case with many things in 2020, the announcement became a point of controversy for some who failed to grasp or ignored the fact that the team voted on the decision. And as a result, Pitt associate head coach Charlie Partridge took it upon himself to set one malcontent straight.
