Finally, it’s done.
Razorback fans let out a collective sigh of relief when news of Eric Musselman’s new contract was released today.
Musselman, by far the most successful Arkansas basketball history over the course of his first two seasons with the program, isn’t going to Arizona, Indiana, Texas or any other place whose fans think of Arkansas as a mere stepping stone program.
Instead, he will get a raise from what had been a $2.5 million salary before the NCAA Tournament to $4 million a year.
He also gets an extension. The new deal starts on May 1 and runs through April 30, 2026.
