Dawn Staley became the highest-paid coach in women’s basketball when she signed a new contract with South Carolina on Friday. The extension bumped her pay from $3.2 million to $4 million this year and will see her annual compensation rise to $5.25 million at the end of the contract in 2029-2030.

Coach Dawn Staley has received a contract extension that South Carolina said will make her the highest paid college women’s basketball coach of all time at a total value of about $25 million.
