Alabama AD Greg Byrne nets pay raise, three-year extension

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.
