In the third year, Pollard’s pay will rise to $725,000. Every subsequent year, Pollard’s salary will get a $25,000 increase until his contract expires in 2024, just before the Big 12 Conference television contract ends.

Here’s a breakdown of Pollard’s pay in the final five years of his contract, which was put into effect Dec. 1, 2016:

Iowa State hired Pollard in 2005, making him the third longest tenured athletic director in the Big 12. At the end of his contract, Pollard will have been at Iowa State for 20 years — the longest anyone has held that position in school history.

During his 11-year tenure at Iowa State, Pollard has overseen major expansion projects like the south end zone at Jack Trice Stadium and the Bergstrom Football Complex.
