The Arizona Wildcats locked up Adia Barnes for the future during their magical run to the national championship game, and now we know how much it cost to do so.
Quite a bit, though still not nearly as much as some of the top coaches in women’s college basketball.
Barnes’ 5-year contract extension, through the 2025-26 season, will pay her $3.345 million over the life of the deal. She’ll make $580,000 in 2021-22, an increase of 34 percent from her $432,500 salary while leading the UA to its first-ever Final Four and nearly winning a national title.
