Our team at Rivals along with Paul and the Pitt Sports News staff are going to be giving a free month to all active subscribers to say thank you for your patience and make up for the few days here in between publishers. More details on that below.
I did hear your concerns through the transition about not being able to answer all questions that were asked. There were contractual restrictions that dictated what and when we could share in some instances, but I will take responsibility for the transition to Pitt Sports News not happening immediately on March 1. That was our intention, but there were hurdles that we had not cleared in time to get that done right away. As I said last week, though, our priority here is to bring you elite coverage of Pitt athletics and give you a community to discuss your favorite team, cheer them on, celebrate (sometimes commiserate) and share the latest news and information. Paul's connections to the program are unmatched and Karl is an up and coming voice in this market who brings a tremendous work ethic. I am extremely excited for the future of this site!
Here is how the free month will be applied to your account: First, your account must currently be active. An account cannot be edited if it is in a cancelling state, even if your subscription runs through later in the year. Our engineers will not be applying the free month to accounts until Monday, so if you recently cancelled you have through the weekend to take your account out of a cancelled state (you can still cancel in the future, but have to be active when the free month is applied). If you are an annual subscriber, the free month will extend your current year one month. For instance, if your subscription renews in September, it would now not renew until October. If you are a monthly subscriber, this will apply to your next month.
Thank you for your continued contributions and presence on this site, and we look forward to the future of Pitt Sports News here at Rivals!
