Georgia announced a contract extension and raise for athletic director Josh Brooks on Monday following back-to-back Southeastern Conference championships in football and national championships in women’s tennis, women’s track and equestrian.

Georgia’s athletic association executive committee approved a contract extension for one year, through 2031, and an annual raise of $125,000 to a six-year average of $1.75 million to Brooks’ base salary. The contract also includes goal-based incentives for academic performance and Learfield Directors Cup standings.

Brooks took over as athletic director in 2021 following Greg McGarity’s retirement.
