Balancing act: Athletic Director Sandy Barbour on Penn State's schedule

A potential continuation of the series with Pittsburgh was among the topics Barbour discussed in Chicago at Big Ten media days, and striking a balance between competitive non-conference games to attract crowds and giving the team the best shot to keep an unblemished record is also part of the plan.
