Ten of Eleven BE programs have made the tournament under her leadership. We have a great deal with Fox, one which that she will now oversee the renegotiation. We have MSG locked up until the end of the decade. We have UConn (and Husky) back. The B1G, ACC and PAC will all have had new commissioners in a 24-month timeframe. Strong continuity is important. Glad to have her continuing leading our conference more several more years to come.

Agree with what everyone else has said, she has done a great job.

Val has been great for the Big East Conference. I hope we continue with FOX Sports. I'm sure we will. The only surprise is that only runs until 2024.

This is fantastic news!

Great point about continuity and her being the one to captain the next media deal through.

After Dave Gavitt, she's the best commish this conference has ever had and is a home run for this league.

Well deserved. Anyone know what her salary is?

The most recent 990 I could find is for 7/1/16-6/30/17 - her salary was $1.13M so I'd guess closer to $1.5M now.

Same 990 also lists contributions to the 10 member universities. Assume the majority is based on NCAA tournament credits because Villanova was #1 at $4.27M, Xavier #2 at $4.13M, Butler #3 at $3.94M, Creighton #4 at $3.75M and Marquette #5 at $3.61M
