A $3 million buyout applies if he leaves for the NBA.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Aug 281 min read

What happened: The agreement is valued at $49.5 million through 2031-32, averaging $8.25 million annually. That salary reportedly ranks second among men's college basketball coaches.

Why it matters: North Carolina's interest ended with another hire, while Golden State's contingency vanished when its coach returned. Florida is expected to open the 2026-27 season at No. 1.

By the numbers: Golden is 103-41, a .715 winning percentage, through four seasons at Florida. His $8.25 million average trails the national high by $600,000.

What to watch: Florida's formal announcement will clarify the contract's full terms and escalating buyout schedule.
