If Barnes wants that Committee to really have some great input, they should ask Chris Peak Rivals to put up a Message Board where Posters, Fans, and Alumni can put up some ideas on how to gain more support and innovations and correct some mistakes in the past to bring back some Pitt Supporters long gone.
In my opinion, this is a real step in the right direction and far better effort and refutation of Pederson's Ego Mismanagement since his return and after his termination!
Hope some of the great Posters we have on the Lair apply!

Pitt athletic director Scott Barnes is giving fans a voice. Barnes, who has been officially on the job less than two weeks, announced plans Wednesday to form a committee of fans that will provide feedback to the athletic department.
Barnes said the committee, named the Panther Fans Experience Committee, will be composed of approximately 20 Pitt graduates, fans and students who will serve voluntary two-year terms and meet four times a year.
Barnes said he intends for the committee's focus to include fan experiences before, during and after games; improved communication between fans and the department; customer service; ticket servicing; donor support; and any other pertinent issues.
“In short, we want to know how Pitt athletics can better serve its fans,” Barnes said in a statement. “The best way to do that is by engaging our people and asking for their thoughts and opinions. By working together, we can create a fan experience that ranks among the finest in the country.”
Fans can apply for positions on the committee through the Fan Experience Committee Application link on PittsburghPanthers.com. The application deadline is July 8. Barnes expects the committee to hold its initial meeting in August.
