Sandy Barbour’s new contract is almost official.
Barbour, Penn State’s athletic director, will serve the Nittany Lions beyond 2019. The Board of Trustees’ Committee on Compensation met Thursday in an executive session and later voted to approve Barbour’s new deal.
No details — annual pay or length of the contract — were disclosed at the meeting. The AD’s extension will be discussed and is expected to be approved at the Board of Trustees’ open session, beginning 2 p.m. Friday at the Penn Stater Hotel & Conference Center.
The Committee on Compensation’s Thursday meeting, led by Keith Masser, lasted only a few minutes.
