What exactly are the ramifications of this: https://www.uwyo.edu/budget-finance/_files/docs/budget/supporting-documents/dept-salary-fy26.pdf

$6 million is quite a bit, but it's not like UW isn't in line with most of the other programs in the remaining MWC still. https://knightnewhousedata.org/fbs/mwc

Wait...he got a pay raise?

In his original contract amendment that extended him through 2027, it only outlined his guaranteed compensation through June 2025. The amendment explicitly states that the university and Burman would work to sign an additional amendment in the future that would outline his guaranteed compensation from July 2025 through the end of his contract in 2027. That additional amendment, which I do not believe has been reported on, may have increased his guaranteed compensation. This would be pretty easy to get through an open records request from the university.

That original contract amendment also outlined deferred compensation that Burman would receive if he hit a certain amount of performance metrics. Not sure how much that women’s soccer championship counted for, but this may also be playing a role in his higher salary for 2026.
