It doesn’t look like Mark Stoops will be going anywhere for a long time.
According to UK’s open records, Stoops has signed a contract extension that will keep him as the head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats through June 2031.
Stoops is now set to make $8.6 million per season plus his $400,000 base salary which puts him at $9 million per season.
When the raise takes effect in February 2023, Stoops will be making more than men’s basketball head coach John Calipari who will make $8.5 million this season.
A press release is included in the amended contract, but news of the extension was not sent out to the media.
