So it looks like a former alum, Chris Bickell has given the largest donation of 20 million dollars to the Pitt Football program that leads to a bizarre name change for the head coach.
Pittsburgh Panthers head coach Pat Narduzzi got a new job title Thursday. Instead of being the head coach at Pitt football, Narduzzi will now be known as the Chris Bickell '97 Head Football Coach. No, really.
This is starting to be a new trend for wealthy alums to dish out big dollars to not get a building named, or a sports dorm, but actually have their name incorporated in the actual team itself or the coaches title.
What do posters think of this narcissistic endeavor from alums with deep pockets to donate with this type of name recognition attached to the cash?
