For the first time ever, the Pitt Panthers will play the Robert Morris Colonials on the football field.
RMU Athletic Director Chris King let the cat out of the bad while talking to Paul Ziese during The Joe Show on Friday.
Pitt Athletics confirmed the matchup with The Fan in an email.
King says the game will happen sometime over the next six years.
He also said the game will take place at Acrisure Stadium.
Asked if it would be a home and home, King said, “I would question Heather (Lyke’s) sanity if she ever agreed to that deal.”
“Maybe basketball but definitely not football,” added King.
The date of the game will be released in the future.
King knows the game will be a challenge for the Colonials, but it's a great recruiting opportunity for the school.
