UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA

The University of North Carolina offered a two-year contract extension to men’s basketball coach Roy Williams that could see his bonuses rise nine times to a possible maximum of $1 million as the school awaits possible punishment for five of the NCAA’s most severe violations. Williams’s total guaranteed compensation will start at $1.96 million next season and grow to $2.35 million by the 2019-20 season, according to a release on the UNC athletics page. Williams, 64, won NCAA titles at UNC in 2005 and 2009. In 27 years as a college coach, he’s 750-202, and his .788 winning percentage is highest among active coaches with 20 years experience. – Eben Novy-Williams, Bloom Berg. Read more.
