Iowa Pursues Ben McCollum Extension

Iowa AD Beth Goetz confirmed to the Des Moines Register that the university is negotiating a contract extension with head men's basketball coach Ben McCollum. McCollum’s successful 24‑win season, capped by an Elite Eight berth, has prompted discussions of longer tenure and higher pay. The extension would extend the current six‑year deal, which runs through 2031, and is expected to be announced publicly once finalized.
