Georgia AD Josh Brooks receives raise, extension to $1.025 million annually with escalators

It pays to win and win big. Literally. According to a report from Seth Emerson of The Athletic, Georgia athletics director Josh Brooks is receiving both a raise and a contract extension.

Brooks has overseen an athletics program that has maximized its most profitable sport, with the Bulldogs the reigning back-to-back national champions in football.

Per Emerson, Brooks’ raise will take him to $1.025 million annually, increasing by $100,000 each year of the deal. The length of his extension is six years.

Brooks was named the program’s athletics director in January 2021.

His hire in that role came following 11 years in various roles at Georgia within the athletics administration. He was most recently the interim athletics director and a senior deputy director of athletics.

Along with Georgia’s national titles in football, the program was also the 2021 national champion in equestrian. The women’s tennis team also won the SEC in 2021 under Brooks’ watch.

On3 will have more on this developing story shortly.
