The about-to-retire president of the University of Kentucky done gone and increased the athletic director’s “base salary … from $475,000 to $600,000 annually and he is now under contract until 2019… Should the new president want to bring in his or her own athletics director, [the current AD’s] contract specifies that he would be paid $475,000 a year for up to five years, or up to $2.4 million.”
Hyuk! And he dint tell the trustees! Not a one of ’em. Har!
