South Carolina extends football coach Shane Beamer through 2030

Coming off one of the best seasons in school history, South Carolina has rewarded football coach Shane Beamer with a new contract that will run through the end of 2030.

Beamer, who guided the Gamecocks to a 9-4 record this past season, will be paid $8.15 million this year with $100,000 raises annually, according to a term sheet of the deal obtained by ESPN. He was scheduled to make about $6.6 million this year under a previous extension he signed in 2023.

The new deal includes a $5 million buyout if Beamer leaves South Carolina in the first year, which drops by $1 million each year of the contract.
