Pitt AD Releases Strategic Plan For Athletic Department's Future

Univ. of Pittsburgh AD Scott Barnes has "put his 19-sport department on notice" with a "17-page document – nearly a year in the making – that lists priorities, goals and expectations that reach into the next decade." The plan lists six goals generated by a total of 113 "coaches, student-athletes, faculty and staff members." It is the "first time the athletic department has revealed a long-range plan in such a public forum." One goal was for 90% or greater "renewal of season tickets for football and men's and women's basketball" (PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW, 6/24).
