PITT FOOTBALL
The ACC is adopting a new scheduling model for the 2023 season.
The conference announced yesterday that it will eliminate the Atlantic and Coastal divisions and adopt a 3-5-5 schedule structure, in which all 14 schools will compete under one division beginning in 2023. The top two teams in the conference will face-off in the Subway ACC Football Championship Game on the first Saturday in December. Those teams will be determined based on winning percentage.
The “3” in the 3-5-5 structure means that all teams will have three primary opponents that they will play annually, while the other 10 teams will play twice during the four-year cycle.
Pitt’s primary partners for 2023 are: Boston College, Syracuse and Virginia Tech.
Schedules for the 2023-2026 seasons were also released yesterday along with the new format and Pitt will play Boston College, Florida State, Louisville and North Carolina at home, then Duke, Syracuse, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest on the road.
You can view Pitt’s 2024-26 schedules on the ACC’s website.

PITT BASKETBALL
PITT basketball coach Jeff Capel gave some good news regarding one of his players yesterday. Capel told reporters that redshirt-senior guard Nike Sibande has been cleared for “everything except playing.”
Sibande did not play last year due a knee injury, but averaged 6.9 PPG and shot 43 percent from the perimeter two seasons ago.
