According to the Herald-Leader:
One day before Kentucky football’s loss to Vanderbilt earlier this month, the school signed head coach Mark Stoops to a contract extension that would keep him as coach through the 2030 season.
Stoops’ previous contract was set to expire after the 2027 season but included a clause that triggered an automatic one-year extension any time Kentucky won seven games and a two-year extension anytime Kentucky won 10 games. That clause is deleted from the new deal, which instead guarantees a $9 million per year salary starting in February 2023 through June 2031.
The Herald-Leader link also includes a look at the updated contract.
