As requested by Cardinal readers, The Louisville Cardinal looked into salary statistics of top University of Louisville administrators and coaches for the past year.
President James Ramsey received the most heat and criticism with his paycheck this year, most notably in July when he was revealed to have one of the highest salaries amongst presidents at peer institutions. He received a bonus from the Board of Trustees within the week.
While Ramsey got the most criticism, those in sports-related positions made much more. Men’s basketball head coach Rick Pitino made the most on the year with over $4 million, followed by football head coach Bobby Petrino.
