The University of Nevada Board of Regents is considering approving a contract for potential new UNLV basketball coach Mick Cronin that would pay more than $2 million a year, according to sources close to the situation.
It would more than double what the Rebels have ever paid a coach. Former UNLV coach Lon Kruger, who was with the Rebels from 2004 to 2011, made as much as just more than $1 million a year.
Whether the regents approve such a deal remains to be seen and, of course, Cronin would have to agree to the terms. Including incentives, he makes as much as $2.
