Iowa fans were greeted with a not-so-typical news dump Wednesday afternoon when the athletics department dropped this bombshell:
Curiously, as of this writing, the release has only been sent to ~select~ members of the media and has NOT been posted on the Iowa athletics website. I wonder why!
So, the terms of the extension, which the university is calling an “amendment,” for nefarious reasons, are as follows:
- Barta, who’s contract is currently set to expire on June 30, 2021, is extended through June 30, 2024.
- He keeps his base salary of $650,000/year, but built-in deferred compensation brings that number up $350,000 each year on the remainder of his contract.
