MINNEAPOLIS — Meet P.J. Fleck, the Six Million Dollar Man.
The Minnesota Gophers football coach and the University of Minnesota on Wednesday agreed to a new seven-year contract that will run through the 2029 season. The new deal, which adds one year to his previous contract, will increase Fleck's pay by $1 million per year to an average of $6 million, a source with knowledge of the contract told the Star Tribune.
The agreement is pending Board of Regents approval at its Dec. 16 meeting.
