EAST LANSING, Mich. — While Tom Izzo has been busy on the recruiting trail, he was also working on a new contract with Michigan State.
The university announced on Thursday it had agreed to a new five-year rollover contract that will pay the Hall of Fame coach $6.2 million annually, making him the second-highest paid coach in college basketball behind Kentucky’s John Calipari.
The contract will be up for formal approval from Board of Trustees at the next meeting on Sept. 9.
