URBANA — Fresh off the Illini men’s golf team’s second consecutive national semifinal appearance, coach Mike Small is slated for a hefty raise.
Small would receive a new six-year contract that runs through August 2022 under a proposed contract to be considered by UI trustees on Thursday.
He would receive $308,000 this year, including a $300,000 base salary that would rise by 5 percent a year, and $8,000 a year in lieu of a university vehicle. He currently earns $201,900, according to the UI’s “gray book” of academic and administrative salaries from this past school year.
He will get a $100,000 retention bonus if he remains through August 2019, under the terms of his previous contract, and another $100,000 if he stays through 2022.
