RALEIGH — N.C. State Athletics Director Debbie Yow received a two-year extension and a raise Friday.
Winning the schools first national title in 30 years, in any sport, would mean a bigger bonus for Yow, who got $50,000 added to her annual supplemental income in her new contract, which runs through 2017.
A national title in football or mens basketball would be worth a $100,000 bonus for Yow, 60, who has been the Wolfpacks AD since June 2010. Yow also would receive a $50,000 bonus for a national championship in womens basketball and $25,000 for one in any other sport.
I believe in the promise of N.C. State, Yow said Friday. We can win championships here.
In Yows 16 years at Maryland, five teams won 20 national titles, including both basketball programs. N.C. State hasnt won an NCAA title in a team sport since the mens basketball team in 1983.
Yows annual salary, $354,200, remains unchanged with the extension, which was approved by the N.C. State Board of Trustees on Friday. Her supplemental income jumps from $100,000 to $150,000.
In Yows two years at N.C. State, the Wolfpack has jumped 52 spots in the Directors Cup standings, from 89th to 37th.
N.C. State was one of three schools in 2011-12 to have a football team win its bowl game, the mens basketball team reach the Sweet 16 and the baseball team reach the Super Regionals.
When Yow was hired from Maryland to replace Lee Fowler, she brought a no-nonsense reputation and she has lived up to it. Yow has hired five coaches, with mens basketball coach Mark Gottfried the highest-profile and most successful hire to date.
In his first season, Gottfried led the Wolfpack to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2006. The Wolfpack is ranked No. 6 in the country this season.
During the past eight months, Yow has also reworked the schools shoe and apparel deal with Adidas and agreed to a new, 10-year, $49 million multimedia contract.
