Nate Oats said today that his agent has opened negotiations with UB on a new contract for him and his staff. Both sides motivated to get deal done. Could happen before MAC tournament, but talks aren't as far along as they were a year ago at this time.
— Jonah Bronstein (@lebronstein) March 11, 2019I believe after his extension last year that Oats is the highest paid coach in the MAC with a base salary of 600,000 a season. Maybe some other school leapfrogged Buffalo but I don’t think so.
I do know that John Groce is getting some kind of bump next year from Akron that might get him to 650 with base and supplemental pay.
