COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina's national championship
baseball coach Ray Tanner has received a raise and a two-year
contract extension.
The school's board of trustees approved the new agreement which
will keep Tanner with the Gamecocks through 2015. South Carolina
won the College World Series in June, the first national
championship among its men's athletic teams.
The deal announced Friday increases Tanner's guaranteed
compensation from just over $400,000 to $510,000. Tanner also
received an enhanced list of incentives that could bring his salary
to more than $750,000.
The agreement also removes Tanner's buyout obligations to South
Carolina if he chooses to take another baseball head coaching job.
Tanner starts his 15th season with the Gamecocks next February.
