The board is expected to approve salaries for Craig Naivar, Yancy McKnight, Drew Mehringer, Oscar Giles, Tim Beck, Derek Warehime, Todd Orlando, and Stan Drayton.

Included in the employment terms of each contract:

• Position coaches will receive $10,000 for sports camps and clinics

Contracts for Naivar, McKnight, Mehringer, Giles, Warehime, and Drayton expire on March 31, 2019.

Each member of Herman's staff can also earn a maximum of $95,000 annually in team performance-based incentives.

Regents do not have to approve contracts for recruiting coordinator and cornerbacks coach Jason Washington and tight ends coach Corby Meekins since neither exceeds $1 million in total compensation.
