Head Coach Rod Carey’s time at NIU was quietly extended until 2022, and he is expected to earn an estimated $2.4 million over the next four years, according to the third amendment made to his contract Jan. 5.
The newly amended contract, which was provided to the Northern Star in a Freedom of Information Act request, went into effect Jan. 1 and extends Carey’s employment through June 30, 2022.
NIU Athletics did not receive public approval of the contract from the Board of Trustees and did not issue a news release in regard to the contract extension, which happened nearly 10 months ago.
