The University of Missouri Board of Curators will hold a closed meeting at 8 a.m. Tuesday to ratify a $4 million contract with new head football coach Eliah Drinkwitz.
The contract details for Drinkwitz, head coach at Appalachian State University, were still being finalized Monday morning, a source close to the negotiations said. The compensation package, however, has been set, the source said.
MU Chancellor Alexander Cartwright, Athletic Director Jim Sterk and three members of the Board of Curators — Jeff Layman, David Steelman and Darryl Chatman, a former MU football player — were in North Carolina to negotiate the deal.
