Musselman’s five-year extension, which Nevada announced Tuesday, is worth $5 million. Financial details of the deal were released Wednesday. He will earn $1 million in guaranteed money in 2017-18, which tops the Pack’s previous record of $585,000, earned by football coach Brian Polian last season. Musselman's contract calls for $1 million in base salary per season through 2021-22.
