Here are the articles from the papers on Pitt’s schedule. Welcome to the new Big East. TV still rules and ESPN will be using it to fill-in the scheduling gaps previously filled by the Mountain West.
The Panthers play at least three, and likely four games, during the week as opposed to Saturday, the traditional day for college football. Pitt plays two Thursday night games, a Friday night game and likely will have another moved from Saturday afternoon to Friday night for television.

Pitt’s second game is at Ohio and is scheduled for Sept. 10, but is likely to move to Friday night (Sept. 9) and be televised on ESPN.The Panthers then play the next two Saturdays, Sept. 17 at Nebraska and Sept. 24 at home against Youngstown State, before playing another Friday night ESPN game, Sept. 30, at Rutgers.
Damn. It looked like I was going to that Ohio game. Now it becomes a question mark.
And of course, thanks to the new “tradition,” the Backyard Brawl will be on Thanksgiving night.
