Minnesota gives Richard Pitino $400K annual raise, 2-year extension

Minnesota has finalized a two-year contract extension for coach Richard Pitino through the 2020-21 season, including a $400,000 raise.

The university released the details Tuesday, months after the terms were agreed to while Norwood Teague was the athletic director.

Pitino, who finished his second year as coach of the Gophers, will now make $1.6 million annually.
