As Selection Sunday looms, Rutgers is set to approve a contract extension for men’s basketball head coach Steve Pikiell at Friday’s Board of Governors meeting. It was first reported by Jerry Carino of the Asbury Park Press and then soon after reported by James Kratch of NJ Advance Media. It will be the third extension for Pikiell since being hired in April 2016. Terms have not been reported but he was extended through 2026 two years ago after leading the program to its first 20 win season in 37 years.
Pikiell is currently making $2.
