Michigan State has announced that it's come to an agreement men's basketball head coach Tom Izzo on a new contract. According to the university, Izzo's contract is a five-year rollover deal, packing an average total compensation of $6.2 million per year. Not too shabby. 2022-23 will be Izzo's 28th season as head coach of the Spartans.
"This is an exciting time for Michigan State and there’s no better place to be in college athletics, with the support we have from the university, our students, our community and the tremendous Spartan alumni," Izzo said in a statement. "I love Michigan State and I am proud and excited to continue the hard work to bring another national championship to East Lansing.”
“Twelve years ago, Tom Izzo said he would be a Spartan for Life, and today’s announcement further demonstrates and renews this commitment,” athletic director Alan Haller said. “We have worked collaboratively to come up with a contract which benefits the university, Coach Izzo and his family."
By the way, Sports Illustrated is saying that, "Tom Izzo and Michigan State men's basketball are putting together one of the top recruiting classes in school history in 2023. MSU recently scored a four-star small forward Coen Carr out of Legacy Early College in Greenville, S.C.
