By the Numbers: Steve Pikiell receives extension from Rutgers

Rutgers wants its Men’s Basketball coach on the sidelines for the duration of his career. After agreeing to a large extension in March, Rutgers added more onto the deal.

On Thursday, the Rutgers Board of Governors approved a one-year extension for Pikiell. He will now be linked to Rutgers through the 2030-31 season. The new deal is worth $30.8 million over eight years. Full details are below.

There was a new retention bonus of $300,000 added at the end of the 2023-24 season. This means that Pikiell will receive this retention five times over the next seven years (2023, 2024, 2025, 2027, and 2029).
