Emmert has been in the position since 2010 and his current contract had been extended deal through 2023, with an option to extend it through 2024, before Tuesday’s announcement. The news came in the form of a news item at the bottom of an update following the board’s quarterly meeting. In 2018, Emmert ‘s contract was extended five years to its current deal. Prior to his current position, Emmert held positions at Washington, LSU, Connecticut and Montana State. The announcement comes weeks after the NCAA took heat for inequities between the women’s and men’s Division I basketball tournaments. Emmert made $2.7 million during 2018, USA Today reported last year, citing NCAA’s federal tax returns. The extension comes as the NCAA continues to work on name, image and likeness legislation. In fact, U.S. Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, a former Ohio State football player, reintroduced on Monday a bipartisan bill that would give college athletes the right to earn money through endorsements and sponsorship deals. Gonzalez, R-Ohio, and Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., co-sponsored the Student Athlete Level Playing Field Act, which would give college athletes the right to be paid for the use of their name, image and likeness. In a statement, the NCAA said it valued the bipartisanship of the bill. “Their House bill will strengthen the college athlete experience and support the NCAA and its members to modernize name, image and likeness rules but not pay student-athletes or turn them into employees of their college or university,” the NCAA said.
