NCAA Board of Governors Unanimously Votes to Extend Mark Emmert’s Contract

The NCAA Board of Governors unanimously voted to extend president Mark Emmert's contract through Dec. 31, 2025.

The news was announced Tuesday as a one-line news item buried within a larger update after the board's quarterly meeting.

He's the fifth president in NCAA history and has been in the role since 2010. Emmert previously held high-ranking roles at Washington, LSU, Connecticut and Montana State. His base salary is reportedly $2.7 million.

Within the announcement, the Board reaffirmed its commitment to updating name, image and likeness rules.

Emmert came under fire after disparities were shown between the men's and women's college basketball tournaments this year, specifically the weight room.
