South Carolina announced a long-anticipated contract extension for Dawn Staley. Although negotiations dragged on longer than expected, there was never much doubt an agreement would be reached. The only question was how much Staley would get paid.

Dawn Staley is now the highest-paid women’s basketball coach in the country. South Carolina’s Board of Trustees approved new contract extension for Staley on Friday that will pay her $4 million a season. Staley’s new annual salary marks an $800,000 raise from the $3.2 million she was making this season.
