Wisconsin coaches Paul Chryst, Kelly Sheffield, Paula Wilkins get one-year contract extensions

Football coach Paul Chryst and volleyball coach Kelly Sheffield both had their five-year contracts renewed. They now run through Jan. 31, 2025.

Women's soccer coach Paula Wilkins had her three-year deal extended to run through Jan. 31, 2023.

The athletic department's consideration of men's soccer coach John Trask's three-year contract wasn't done in time for Friday's meeting and will be brought to the board later.

In a brief closed session Friday, the Athletic Board also approved bonuses for fall sports coaches. Under UW's policy, Sheffield and his assistants were eligible for a 25% bonus for making the NCAA championship game and 5% for being Big Ten champions.
