ATHENS, Ga. -- On the heels of a second straight national football championship, the University of Georgia has rewarded athletic director Josh Brooks with a contract extension that ties him to the Bulldogs through at least 2029.
The athletic association board, wrapping up its annual spring meeting Friday at a resort on Lake Oconee, also announced plans for a new track and field facility that will free up space for two more football practice fields.
Brooks' new contract will increase his salary to $1.025 million a year, with annual raises of $100,000.
The 42-year-old Brooks, who took over the athletic department in 2021 after Greg McGarity retired, called the Georgia job "a dream for me" and said he hopes to spend the rest of his career in Athens.
