Florida coach Todd Golden, fresh off leading the Gators to the national championship, has agreed to a six-year, $40.5 million contract extension that keeps him in Gainesville through the 2030-31 season.
Golden becomes one of the five highest-paid coaches in college basketball, at $6.75 million annually.
He guided the Gators to a 36-4 record in his third season at the helm, winning the program’s third national championship. The 39-year-old became the youngest coach to lead a team to the title since Jim Valvano in 1983
