Calipari’s Successful Season Earns Him New Contract at UMass

Coach John Calipari, who led the University of Massachusetts to a 30-5 record and into the third round of the NCAA tournament this season, was given a new four-year contract worth up to $700,000.

The new package raises Calipari’s annual base pay from $77,000 to $120,000, officials at the Amherst, Mass., campus said. Other benefits, including revenue from a summer camp and broadcast deals, could lift his total annual income to $175,000.
