re: Arkansas extends Bielema through 2020 w/ raise

[quote]Arkansas extends Bielema through 2020 w/ raise quote: he improved us drastically from year 1 and year 2, why not reward him? Wasn't that expected with the original contract? He was paid more than enough for his production so far and still had a sweet buyout to give him job security. The raise was a year premature and an unnecessary risk for the school. [/quote

I'd like to have waited another year myself. Not sure we had a choice if we wanted to keep him.
