Alabama extends athletic director Greg Byrne's contract through 2033

Alabama has extended athletic director Greg Byrne's contract by two years, now set to run through June 30, 2033. The university's Compensation Committee approved the revised deal, which increases his base salary to $2.675 million annually, reflecting a rise from his previous contract. Byrne has served in this role since 2017 and has been instrumental in key coaching hires, including Kalen DeBoer, Nate Oats, and Rob Vaughn. Under his leadership, Alabama became the only Division I program to reach the College Football Playoff, the NCAA tournaments for both men’s and women’s basketball, and both College World Series events during the past academic year. Alongside Byrne’s extension, Alabama also approved new contracts for six head coaches.
