K-STATE AD GETS CONTRACT EXTENSION
Kansas State Athletics Director John Currie has agreed to a contact extension through 2019. Currie is getting a $100,000 raise, bumping his salary to $575,000.
“Our athletics department has achieved unprecedented success the past four years under John’s tremendous leadership,” said K-State President Kirk Schulz. “With continued excellence in the classroom, record fundraising, dramatic facility improvements benefiting all of our student-athletes and three conference championships last year, K-State is truly recognized as a national leader in intercollegiate athletics. John’s vision and partnership also have been critically important to the entire university family as we continue to work toward becoming a Top 50 public research university by 2025.”
The KSU athletics department was a mess when Currie arrived in 2009. Since then K-State has improved its facilities, including the new West Stadium Center at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Basketball Training Facility, Intercollegiate Rowing Center and Mike Goss Tennis Stadium, and launched K-StateHD.TV.
Last season, K-State became only the fourth BCS school since 1998 to win conference titles in football, men’s basketball and baseball in the same year.
