During his tenure at FAU spanning six years, Dusty May played an instrumental role in transforming the program into a success story. This journey culminated in a remarkable achievement last season, as FAU achieved a school-best record of 35-4. Under May’s guidance, FAU secured consecutive NCAA Tournament berths in the last two seasons, with a notable highlight being a Final Four appearance in 2023.
Contract details have been released
Details of the five-year deal have been made public thanks to a Freedom of Information request from The Detroit News.
“May’s compensation will begin at $3.55 million in Year 1 and will increase to $3.65 million in Year 2, $3.75 million in Year 3, $3.85 million in Year 4 and $3.95 million in Year 5. The total value of the contract will be $18.75 million before bonuses.
That means May’s base salary will be nearly tripled compared to what he made this past season at Florida Atlantic. Following FAU’s Final Four run last season, May signed a 10-year extension that paid him $1.25 million this season and was worth a total of $15.7 million.”
