re: Arkansas extends Bielema through 2020 w/ raise

No one has mentioned what I feel to be one of the most compelling reasons for the raise and more importantly the contract extension. RECRUITING. The contract now is extended to 5 years going forward, so this gives any recruits a pretty confident feeling that Bielema will be their coach for the time they will be in Fayetteville.

In theory, I would prefer that the buyout be on a more equal basis, but I don't see it being an issue.
