On June 5, 2014, Arizona Board of Regents approved extending University of Arizona Athletic Director, Greg Byrne’s Multiple-year Employment Contract to May 31, 2019. In the most recent meetings, September 15th, 2015, the University seeks to extend the contract one year further to May 31, 2020, and to revise its monetary terms. The proposed monetary revisions fall into two categories. The first revision is to clauses that incentivize Byrne to promote academic and athletic success. The second proposed revision is to advance the vesting and payout schedule for the Longevity Fund that was established by a donor to retain Byrne. If approved, Byrne’s Base Salary will be increased by $25,000 on June 1, 2019, to $750,000. Byrne’s salary is paid entirely from revenue generated by the Athletics Department. No part of his salary is paid from appropriated funds or tuition revenue. You can dig through the meeting notes here if you’re so inclined.
