Eric Musselman, the most successful Arkansas Razorback basketball coach since Nolan Richardson, has signed a five-year $20 million deal with additional compensation and incentive payments available based on success in SEC and NCAA Tournaments.

The deal, which includes roughly $4 million in annual pay for Musselman, follows the Hogs first NCAA Tournament Elite Eight appearance in more than 25 years. The new agreement will run from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2026 and includes the potential for a pair of one-year automatic agreement extensions (2027, 2028) based on Arkansas receiving bids to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament within the timeframe of the agreement.
