Last Friday, the University of Oregon announced intentions to extend the contract of athletic director Rob Mullens, as well as provide a bump in pay.
The proposal would extend Mullens’ contract through 2033, and increase his pay to $1.15 million per year with an annual $50,000 increase. Incentive bonuses would be built in that could raise the value an additional $100,000.
The new contract would also stipulate that Mullens could leave the role and step into a special adviser position to the president for up to four years, with an annual $200,000 salary. The Oregonian reported that if Mullens was bought out, the university would owe him “80 percent of his cumulative retention bonuses, so long as the termination occurs before July 1, 2030”.
