Liberty University seemingly locked up Hugh Freeze for the long term, announcing Friday they’ve extended the Flames’ fourth-year coach through 2030.

Liberty’s a private school, so the exact figures of Freeze’s deal aren’t clear. Per ESPN’s Pete Thamel, it’s a fully guaranteed contract that will pay him just shy of $5 million per year. That would put him near the middle of the pack compared to SEC salaries and make him the highest-paid coach in the Group of Five when Cincinnati joins the Big 12 next season.
