Mark Stoops gets a 1-year extension with win vs. Vanderbilt, plus postgame notes

The Kentucky Wildcats picked up a much-needed win on Saturday night as they went to Nashville and defeated the Vanderbilt Commodores 34-17.

Not only was it a big win for this team, but it was a big win for Mark Stoops. His contract has an incentive where he automatically gets a one-year contract extension every season that he wins seven games.

According to Steve Berkowitz of USA Today, Stoops’ contract now runs through June 2027 and the additional year is set to pay him $6.5 million with $4.875 million of that being guaranteed money.
