Virginia football coach Al Groh signed a five-year contract yesterday that brings his base salary to $240,000 and gives him $1.46 million in compensation for fundraising, radio and television appearances and endorsements. The contract brings his total annual compensation to $1.7 million.
Groh's original contract, signed in 2001, was a seven-year agreement that provided him with $765,000 in annual compensation.
Athletic Director Craig Littlepage said that the new contract reflected changes in the market for college coaches as well as Groh's success at the University. Littlepage praised Groh for record-breaking attendance at games and season ticket sellouts.
Under Groh's guidance, the Cavaliers have made three consecutive bowl appearances and emerged as a top-20 team.
