The university’s Board of Trustees is set to meet via teleconference at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday to vote on and approve contract extensions and raises for the Gamecocks’ entire football staff, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. While specific terms were not available for the entire staff, head coach Steve Spurrier is expected to receive a raise from $3.3 million to $4 million per year.

Spurrier received a two-year extension in 2012 that will keep him at USC through the 2017 season but a salary increase was not included in the deal. Spurrier had been given a $475,000 bump to $3.3 million after the 2011 season.

Spurrier will rise from the 12th-highest-paid coach in the country to ninth as well.

It appears that the Gamecocks’ staff will also remain intact for the first time under Spurrier. USC has added at least one new coach in each of Spurrier’s nine years at the school.
