Kansas State President Kirk Schulz announced the new contract Friday.
Currie’s annual salary will increase by $100,000 to $575,000 for the remainder of the 2013-14 fiscal year through the 2015-16 seasons. His salary will then increase by $25,000 each remaining year. Currie also will be eligible for various retention incentives.
Currie, who was hired in May 2009, has initiated $125 million in facility improvements since his arrival, including a massive renovation to Bill Snyder Family Stadium, a new basketball training facility and a rowing center.
His most notable hiring has been basketball coach Bruce Weber. The Wildcats are 7-3 with a five-game winning streak.
