Arizona’s former Athletic Director Greg Byrne departs, forfeiting stock options now available for distribution and who better to get them than the coach who is bringing in a ton of revenue to the Athletic Department, Sean Miller. The 48-year-old basketball coach was offered a five-year contract extension by the Arizona Board of Regents to the year 2022. Take that ASU!
Miller’s current contract went through the end of the 2017-18 season, which is kind of scary especially because as it looks now, he may have a Final Four team on his hands. It’s a very good time to extend because the school just lost the Athletic Director who may have helped keep Miller from potentially leaving for Maryland in 2011, and his contract only having a year to go.
