An extension mid season is a little strange regardless of your feelings about BAC you just rarely see it in any sport
so Pike got a big extension in 2020 I believe even before the season was over...somewhat a surprise because they still hadnt made the tourney yet but they were going to and would have if it wasnt cancelled. He got a big time extension in 2022 which coming off of 2 ncaa tourneys he deserved but again RU was playing in first four....certainly was debated a bit here but probably fair but not with a buyout like that...its clear Hobbs let Pikes agent fleece him
the big issue was a very unnecessary one year extension in 2023...wtf why? he was just extended to 2029 the year before, a february extension was really really strange, just because they beat Michigan State at Msg TIU didnt even make the tourney so it was more head scratching by March...yeah only one year but its one year more Kelli is now saddled with $4 million plus
