I guess they must like Tom Crean and what he's done at Marquette.
I don't know of any other D-I school who has locked in their head coach more than another decade, but yesterday, Marquette did just that.
They signed Tom Crean to an extension though 2017, paying him $1.65 million now and escalating even higher in the future years.
In related news, UW-M has been trying to get Marquette to play them (they have not played each other in nearly a decade) and are on the verge of finalizing a contract for a series of games between the two schools.
BUT-- it is being reported that it will be a 4 for 1 deal, with four of the games being played on the home floor of Marquette (the Bradley Center) and only one of the five games being played on the home floor of Rob Jeter's University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, US Cellular Arena.
The first 3 games will be played at Marquette (2007-2009), the 4th at UW-M (in 2010), and then the 5th at MU.
