The K-State Athletic Department announced this afternoon that it had reached a deal with men’s basketball coach Bruce Weber on a four-year contract extension. The contract will pay Weber $2.5 million in 2018-19, escalating by $100,000 each year of the deal, with a final-year salary of $2.9 million in 2022-23.
Weber came to K-State as head coach in 2012, after Frank Martin departed for the job with South Carolina. He has a 125-80 (.610) record, including 55-53 (.509) in Big 12 play, at K-State, and won a share of the Big 12 Championship his first season in Manhattan, but the team suffered a downturn after that high.
