The LSU Board of Supervisors met Friday to discuss the contracts of Les Miles, Joe Alleva, Trent Johnson and Beth Torina.
The Board approved an amendment to Miles’ contract which will keep him at the University through 2017.
“The body of coach Miles’ work over the past six years warrants his contract renewal,” said Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva, whose contract was also renewed at the meeting on Friday.
The newly approved contract will maintain Miles’ $3.7 million annual salary.  Changes from Miles’ previous contract include an increase from $11.2 million to $18.7 million, in the amount he will be paid should he be fired without cause.
The contract also notes the coach’s annual salary will be adjusted to $1,000 more than the highest salary of public institutions’ coaches in the Southeastern Conference if LSU wins a national championship under Miles.
Head Men’s Basketball Coach Trent Johnson’s contract was also extended a year and will now expire June 30, 2013.
