Barry Alvarez could become one of the highest paid athletic directors in college sports, if the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents have anything to say about it.
In the current deal Alvarez will be paid $831,250 for the next year. The University of Wisconsin Athletics picks up the tab on $500,000 and the UW Foundation pays for the rest. Under the new deal however, Alvarez will make $1,000,000. The UW Athletics will still pay $500,000, while the UW Foundation will match that with $500,000 of their own.
Alvarez will still get bonuses depending on job performance, and a long with this, has been granted a contract extension through 2016.
This can be a great day for Barry Alvarez and the Wisconsin Badger Athletics if this actually goes through. Alvarez is a great man and has done wonders for the school. No one deserves this more than him.
