Effective Bribery

Filed under: Uncategorized — Chas @ 10:15 am

Maybe the Pitt Athletic Director, Jeff Long, does have a better idea of what he’s doing than I thought. Last week I posted on Pitt refusing to move it’s season opener down in Tampa against USF to Labor Day so it could be televised by ESPN. Seemed really dumb, to me, for Pitt to miss any opportunity to get some/any additional national games.

Well it turns out, the negotiations were still happening and the deal got sweeter.

ESPN and the Big East sweetened the deal for Pitt, offering a package of more money and more national exposure.

The Panthers’ game Oct. 16 against Boston College will be televised on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC, guaranteeing the school at least six games on national television next season.

Still, about that logo…
