Kentucky football coach Mark Stoops has agreed in principle to a contract extension with amended terms, UK Director of Athletics Mitch Barnhart announced today. The contract will run through June 2028 and continues guaranteed extensions for any season with seven wins (one-year extension) or 10 wins (two-year extension).
The agreement takes into account the Wildcats’ current 9-3 campaign, which already had earned a one-year extension through June 2027, regardless of the outcome of UK’s upcoming bowl game. The contract has been agreed upon and is in the process of getting signatures. The amended terms will be confirmed upon completion of the contract.
