The West Virginia Mountaineers and Pitt Panthers will get to continue their rivalry beyond 2032.
On Friday afternoon, the news was broken by Mike Casazza of EerSports and later confirmed via press release from the WVU and Pitt athletic departments that The Backyard Brawl series, which was previously set to resume from 2029-2032 after a four-season break following this weekend's game, has been extended for another four games from 2033-2036. That means once the series resumes, fans of both programs can anticipate at least eight straight years of their biggest rivalry being played.
