Pitt and Virginia will do a home-and-home for 2006 and 2007. The first game will be at Heinz Field. Not officially announced by Pitt. Hat-tip to Joe for the e-mail that it was announced on FoxSport Pittsburgh last night.

As previously mentioned, former Tennessee QB and alleged hot-head, Brent Schaeffer has Pitt on the list of schools he is considering transferring to.

Former Tennessee quarterback Brent Schaeffer sent his release to South Florida along with several other schools where Schaeffer is considering to transfer.

A Tennessee official said Thursday that Schaeffer’s release was sent “to about 10 schools.” His mother, Chandra Schaeffer, confirmed USF, Pittsburgh, Maryland, Texas A&M, Clemson and Miami (Ohio) had been sent a release.

She also said UCF received a release even though her son and UT coach Phil Fulmer agreed Schaeffer may not transfer to another Southeastern Conference school or a school the Vols play during his remaining eligibility. UCF visits UT in 2007, which would be his junior season.

I think it is clear he is looking to get to the NFL. It just depends on how soon he expects to start. If he wants to start in 2006, then Pitt is down on the list unless Palko is actually up for the Heisman. Depending on how his legal issues play out, he obviously is an attractive player.
