The fine folks at Ohio State are throwing some money around to their coaches on Wednesday. We’ve already told you that head football coach Ryan Day received a contract extension and reworked compensation, but he’s not the only one.
According to the release from the OSU athletic department, basketball head coach Chris Holtmann is also receiving a three-year contract extension contingent upon the full Board of Trustees’ approval on Thursday. With the new deal, Holtmann will be on the sideline in the Schottenstein Center through the 2027-2028 season. The new deal also increases his pay $500,000 to a total annual compensation to $3.5 million with a base salary of $1.0 million per year.
