The road ahead for James Conner will be a tough one, as the Pitt running back embarks on chemotherapy treatments to battle Hodgkin's ;ymphoma, but as the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports, paying the bills won’t be an added burden.
From the Post-Gazette: Pitt’s athletic department will pay for all out-of-pocket costs that are not covered by Conner’s family insurance, partly through the department’s athlete insurance policy with UPMC and the rest from their general fund.
