Arizona and the state’s Board of Regents is doing its part to make Sean Miller happy.
Miller and athletic director Greg Byrne received one-year contract extensions and accelerated retention plans on Thursday by approval of the Board of Regents.
Miller and Byrne will receive an added year of 2019-2020 to their contracts. Their booster-funded retention plans will be payable if they stay until 2020 instead of 2022.
According to a report in The Arizona Daily Star, with a $100,000 raise in 2019-20, Miller will be scheduled to receive a total guaranteed package of $2.8 million that season, including $1.7 million in base salary, plus $700,000 from Arizona for peripheral duties and another $400,000 total from IMG.
Byrne, whose name has been mentioned by the media for the Texas AD vacancy, will receive an extra $25,000 in 2019-20 that will bring his salary to $750,000.
In the booster-funded retention plan, Miller and football coach Rich Rodriguez each have stock set aside that is currently valued at $4.1 million, and they can now collect it fully by 2020. Byrne’s plan has stock valued currently at $2.3 million.
Rodriguez received a contract extension through 2019-20 in a Board of Regents vote in June. His retention plan is also payable in 2020.
