The NCAA Board of Governors on Tuesday voted unanimously to extend President Mark Emmert’s contract through Dec. 31, 2025, the association announced.
Prior to Tuesday, the most recent action on Emmert’s contract had been to extend his deal through 2023, with an option to extend it through 2024.
The board’s move comes amid a time of tumult for the association’s central office, which has taken heavy criticism recently for the inequality of workout facilities provided for athletes participating in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament. The episode prompted the association to hire an outside law firm to examine gender equity in all of its championships.
