Mick Cronin's new six-year contract expected to make him highest-paid coach in Pac-12

LOS ANGELES — Tear up that contract that's less than a year old. Mick Cronin now has something much better.

Only hours before his team's NCAA Tournament opener, the UCLA basketball coach was rewarded Thursday with a new six-year contract that's expected to make him the highest-paid coach in the Pac-12 Conference.

The new deal, which runs through the 2027-28 season, replaces the two-year extension he had signed after guiding the Bruins to the Final Four last year. The previous contract was slated to pay him $3.7 million per year.
