Pitt head football coach Pat Narduzzi was the school’s highest paid employee for the 2018-19 school year, the university revealed in its annual tax filing.
Narduzzi earned over four million in income directly from the universe and another $52,000 in related income for a total of $4.076 million. Narduzzi was also the highest paid university employee in 2017-18, when he eared $3.21 million.

Arthur Levine, vice chancellor for health sciences, was the highest paid non-coach, earning about $1.5 million.
