The new deal would extend AD Dave Heeke's contract through 2025 while boosting his base salary.
Arizona Daily Star Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke will receive a two-year contract extension and raise, pending Arizona Board of Regents approval during Thursday’s scheduled meeting.
Heeke will continue to receive a $100,000 annual retention bonus for staying at the UA. Heeke can leave in the final year of his deal without owing the UA any buyout money, a change from past deals. Heeke would owe $200,000 if he left before April 1, 2024, though UA president Robert C. Robbins can waive the buyout should he choose.
He also received $29,118.77 because Arizona’s women student-athletes had a higher cumulative GPA than that of the general women’s student body . In asking to extend Heeke’s contract, the UA praised his ability to hire and retain top coaches, mentioning Adia Barnes, Tommy Lloyd and others by name; noted the Wildcats’ success on the field and in the Olympics; and pointed to UA athletes’ record 3.172 GPA in Spring 2021.
