K-State signs AD Gene Taylor to extension with raise

(AP) - Kansas State and athletic director Gene Taylor have agreed to a contract extension. It includes a significant jump in base salary to $925,000 per year through June 2027.

The 63-year-old Taylor was nearing the end of a five-year deal he signed in 2017. That contract paid him $450,000 the first year with $50,000 increases each of the next four.

He had agreed to a 13% pay cut last year to help with budget problems caused by the pandemic.
