LSU women's basketball coach Nikki Fargas' 3-year contract extension was approved by the LSU Board of Supervisors athletic committee Thursday (Oct. 4).
The contract still needs to be approved by the full board Thursday afternoon.
The contract keeps Fargas' $350,000 base salary the same, but her incentive compensation is now as high as $600,000. It was previously $500,000.
This comes after the extension was on the board agenda in two previous meetings but was postponed both times. Her contract was set to expire June 30, 2019.
In the Sept. 7 meeting, three people spoke beforehand in support of Fargas' extension, including a former LSU player.
