Greg Byrne received a three-year contract extension and raise Friday.
The University of Alabama Board of Trustees compensation committee approved a pay increase and lengthened term of employment for the athletic director.
Byrne, who replaced Bill Battle in March 2017, recently spearheaded the launch of a $600 million campaign to upgrade Bryant-Denny Stadium, Coleman Coliseum and several other sports facilities.
Byrne is now set to receive $980,000 in base salary this academic year, a $55,000 bump from the figure he was set to earn in his original deal with the university.
Byrne's pay is scheduled to increase to as much as $1.
