Mark Stoops signs contract extension with Kentucky through 2030 season
Over a week ago, UK head football coach Mark Stoops agreed to a contract extension that will keep him in Lexington through the 2030 season.
Stoops is set to make $8.6 million per season (plus his base pay of $400,000 that was set at the start of his tenure, putting him at $9 million per season) beginning in February 2023. The 55-year-old head coach is making $6.35 million for the 2022 season but will receive a significant raise that puts him ahead of UK men’s basketball head coach John Calipari and the $8.5 million salary he’ll make for the 2022-23 season (Calipari’s salary will go up $9 million beginning July 2025).
