Syracuse extends Babers after 9-3 season, bowl

Syracuse and coach Dino Babers have reached an agreement on a contract extension that will keep him with the Orange "well into the future," the school announced Wednesday night.

Terms were not disclosed.

The move comes after Babers led Syracuse to a 9-3 season and its first bowl trip since 2013. A win over West Virginia in the Camping World Bowl on Dec. 28 (5:15 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) would give the Orange their first 10-win season since 2001.

"A little over three years ago, I arrived at Syracuse University inspired by the great opportunity to coach at an institution with such a rich football legacy, hungry student-athletes, good facilities and a storied tradition of academic distinction," Babers said in a statement.
