A $100,000 salary increase if North Carolina makes the NCAA tournament and signs at least a four-star player is among the elements of Jim Tanner’s contract as the executive director and general manager for UNC’s men’s basketball program.

All those details are in the contract that he signed on Wednesday, and the athletics department released on Friday. Scroll down to view the contract, which was written on June 12. WRALSportsFan.com was the first to report the contract.

His five-year deal, which runs until June 30, 2030, pays him a base salary of $850,000 a year, but goes up by $100,000 on July 1 after any year in which the Tar Heels make the NCAA tournament and sign a four- or five-star recruit.

When the program checked both boxes during the last academic year, the terms of the contract called for him to get that $100,000 increase.

Caleb Wilson is a five-star incoming freshman who committed to UNC in January, well before UNC hired Tanner. It’s unclear if the fact that five of the incoming transfers who were four- or five-star high school recruits and committed to UNC after Tanner took the job also would have earned him that increase.

Tanner, a 1990 UNC graduate who earned his law degree from the University of Chicago, received a $30,000 to compensate for relocation costs and is eligible for up to $7,500 for the use of a leased vehicle to conduct university business.

Tanner came to UNC after being the founder and president of Tandem Sports + Entertainment, a full-service sports and entertainment agency, for the previous nearly 11½ years. Before that, he represented elite NBA, Major League Baseball and WNBA athletes as a partner at Williams & Connolly LLP for nearly 17 years.
