The University of Wisconsin Badgers' head coach, who has led the team to five Final Fours, has signed a new deal that includes a substantial pay increase. This comes at a time when the athletic department is facing over $20 million in costs due to revenue sharing. Meanwhile, the University of Oklahoma has also been active in extending contracts. OU's men's basketball coach, Porter Moser, received a slight raise along with extensions for two assistant coaches. Additionally, women's basketball coach Jennie Baranzyk received an extension through the 2029-30 season and will earn $1.075 million this season. These moves reflect a considerable vote of confidence in the coaches' abilities and achievements.

A significant raise for a coach nobody is trying to hire away just as the athletic department faces $20+ million in costs due to revenue sharing. Always money in the banana stand, I guess. https://t.co/zj3a0exMtI
