The NCAA has extended President Mark Emmert’s contract five more years to Oct. 31, 2023, with an option to take it out to Oct. 31, 2024. If Emmert fulfills the length of the new contract, he will have been in the job 14 years, longer than any NCAA chief since Walter Byers (‘51-88). Emmert, who has been at the NCAA since ‘10, made just under $2.1M in base salary and $290,185 in other compensation, according to the NCAA’s most recent federal tax return from ‘16.

The contract extension further solidifies the BOG’s confidence in Emmert, who has provided direction in the past year on matters such as the FBI investigation into college basketball scandal by forming the Rice Commission. He also has been an influential voice on the threat of legal wagering to college athletics.
