FAYETTEVILLE — Kelvin Sampson isn’t going to be the next basketball coach at the University of Arkansas.
Sampson, 63, is finalizing an agreement to remain at University of Houston, according to a report Tuesday by the Houston Chronicle.
Lawyers for Sampson and Houston were still going over contract language Tuesday night, the Chronicle reported, but that there were no issues that would prevent the agreement from being done.
Houston has offered Sampson a six-year, $18 million contract extension according to Tilman Fertitta, the chairman of the school’s board of regents. He had two years left on his existing contract that paid him $1.
