Pitt Football Will Decline to Participate in 2020 Postseason - Pitt Panthers #H2P

PITTSBURGH—The University of Pittsburgh football program will not participate in a bowl game this season, Director of Athletics Heather Lyke and Head Coach Pat Narduzzi

This is likely to be a trend.

I have no doubt several more teams will follow suit.

I think it’s going to be hard to get the players back in together for anything other than a playoff game, and maybe just a handful of major bowls.

I mention this yesterday that bowls and teams will opt out a lot but for some here on the board is to hard to understand it. And as I say yesterday this game today is in reality our bowl game. We win today we have a super successful season.

BC doesn’t make sense, but Pitt I can understand. No reason to risk getting Kenny Pickett hurt in a meaningless bowl game with the NFL draft coming up.

I don’t think it’s about that. Just a hunch on my part, I just get the sense that a lot of guys, even coaches, just want the season to be over for whatever reason.

Hard to understand even under current circumstances....

You mean we don’t get to see Manny fired? That’s what many on this bored wanted just a few months ago.

Yeah, deny all the other players there chance to play in a bowl game just to keep one player healthy four the draft. Got it.

Kenny Pickett is such a savage he scared his own team into not being able to play.
