Kansas' Bill Self signed a new contract with the school that makes him the highest-paid coach in men's college basketball, according to The Messenger's Jeff Goodman.

Goodman reported the deal is worth around $53 million over five years.

According to USA Today, Self had been earning nearly $6 million annually in total pay, which trailed only Kentucky head coach John Calipari ($8.5 million).

In April 2021, Self signed a lifetime contract with Kansas in five-year rolling increments. The school confirmed Tuesday that the two sides had amended the agreement.
