KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -Frank Martin agreed to a contract extension with Kansas State that will boost his annual salary to more than $1.5 million on Sunday, the same day he was named The Associated Press Big 12 coach of the year.
Martin, the first man to win 20-plus games in each of his first three seasons at Kansas State, had been one of the lowest-paid coaches in the Big 12 at around $250,000 annually. The Wildcats finished the regular season 24-6 overall and 11-5 in the Big 12, second to Kansas. His three-year record is 67-30.
Athletic director John Currie said at a news conference that Martin would make an average of $1.55 million for the 2010-11 season through 2014-15, and also receive a signing bonus of $462,800.
