The University of Illinois announced on Tuesday that they will be extending men's basketball coach Brad Underwood's contract through the 2030-31 season.
Underwood's original contract was set to run through 2028, so he's adding an additional three years to his deal. His salary is moving up to $4.4 million annually. Underwood also has the option to earn four one-year extensions if the team hits certain benchmarks over the course of his contract—that would put him with the team through 2035. He's been the coach of the Fighting Illini since the 2017-18 season.
