Florida Offers Todd Golden New Contract

0:00On March 24, Florida Athletics Director Scott Strickland is working to give Coach Todd Golden a new contract extension. The 40-year-old just led the gators to a national championship last season and boasts 103 wins to 41 losses record over four years. His current salary sits at $6.1 million, one of the top in college basketball. Earlier this week, reports surfaced amid whispers that big programs like North Carolina and Kansas might come calling. This would mark Golden's third raise in three seasons, showing how much the school values his success. Strickland has made it clear they want to keep talented coaches happy and appreciated at Florida. They've already extended Golden's deal the past two years and he's clearly a top priority for the program. Recent details highlight the stakes with his buy-out terms. Leaving for another college job before April 16th would cost $16 million, dropping to $11 million after that date. An NBA move is cheaper at $3 million before and $2 million after.
