From the ADG:
According to the UA, senior athletics staff, head coaches, assistant coaches and staff members making more than $100,000 per year will have a 10% salary reduction the next 10 months.
The next tier -- nonclassified staff making between $50,000 and $99,999 -- will face a 7.5% reduction, followed by a reduction of 5% for nonclassified employees making between $30,000 and $49,999. Classified employees making more than $30,000 per year would see a 2.5% salary reduction.
The athletic department submitted a budget of $124 million for fiscal year 2020-21 this spring.
Yurachek's annual salary of $850,000 would yield a little more than $708,000 over the next 10 months, so the 15% cut would knock roughly $106,000 off his pay through next June.
First-year football Coach Sam Pittman's $3 million salary will be the hardest hit in the athletic department, as his pay will be reduced by $250,000.
Second year men's basketball Coach Eric Musselman's $2.5 million salary stands to be reduced by about $208,000.
The top five paid employees in the department -- adding defensive coordinator Barry Odom ($1.3 million) and offensive coordinator Kendal Briles ($1 million) into the mix with Pittman, Musselman and Yurachek -- will add about $756,000 to the savings for the department.
The salary reductions, topped by a 15% cut for Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek, are expected to result in savings of about $3 million.
The pay cuts will be in effect for the rest of the 2020-21 fiscal year, said UA senior associate athletic director Kevin Trainor, meaning they are scheduled to end on June 30, 2021.
