MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Given the protracted nature of college football scheduling, West Virginia athletics director Shane Lyons aspires to work a decade in advance. Even that’s not far enough ahead for some of his colleagues.
“I had an institution recently contact me that was looking at 2035 and 2036,” he said, “but there’s no way I’m looking that far out.”
WVU’s scheduling contracts currently stretch into 2025 when the Mountaineers host Pitt on Sept. 13. Two nonconference slots remain available that season — one of which could become another neutral-site game, the kind Lyons covets for money and exposure.
