Yurachek’s 20-page contract was made effective retroactively to his hire Dec. 4, 2017, and was executed with signatures from himself, UA system president Donald Bobbitt and UA chancellor Joseph Steinmetz between July 3-16.
Yurachek is under contract at Arkansas through Dec. 31, 2022, and will be paid $850,000 from athletics department funds each year - $525,000 in base salary and $325,000 for speaking and media appearances.
Yurachek received a $200,000 signing bonus that would have to be repaid to the university if he accepted another job within his first year at Arkansas.
