True. Penn State demands two home games for every one away game at Pitt because the football (and whatever tiny amount of money they raise from men's/women's basketball, if any at all) revenue pays for the ENTIRE cost of varsity Penn State athletics. They're very proud that none of our tuition is used for athletics. So they argue they need to have so many home games to ensure they continue to fund all of the other sports teams. Plus Pitt would benefit from the rivalry much more than Penn State would. Pitt would sell out Heinz Field, something I'm not sure they have done other than maybe for a Backyard Brawl, while Penn State sells out over capacity for games against Florida International, as well as every other opponent.
