Arkansas Sports Pay boost proposed for UA athletic director Jeff Long
Posted by Max Brantley on Sat, Nov 17, 2012 at 5:55 AM
It would move Long to $900,000 a year, which KFSM reported would put him in the top 10 nationally and 3rd in the SEC, according to a USA Today survey. Long has been mentioned frequently as a contender for similar jobs at other universities.
Long's base pay would be increased from $450,000 to $500,000 annually July 1; the Razorback Foundation would kick in an additional $250,000 for "personal services" and he'd also receive $150,000 at the completion of each year, for a total of $900,000 annually. He'd also have the potential for receiving $250,000 more for achieving performance incentives (winning teams, academic success of athletes, etc.).
He also will get a $50,000 bonus this year "in recognition of your outstanding performance and the additional duties you are performing this year."
