Beyond the Bio
Favorite sports moment at Pitt?
The Pitt-Six
If you could have dinner with any three people who would it be and why?
Greg Sankey, Jim Phillips, and Tony Petitti. I want to learn as much about the college athletic sector as possible. They are three of the Power 5 commissioners, so I feel there is a lot of valuable information they have to share.
