Kim Mulkey has agreed to a 10-year, $32 million extension as head coach of LSU's women's basketball team.

Mulkey led LSU to the 2023 national championship in her second season with the school. Mulkey previously won three titles as head coach at Baylor. Mulkey initially signed an eight-year deal that would pay $22.5 million before incentives.

Mulkey's compensation will keep her right at the top of the highest-paid women's basketball coaches in the country in terms of average annual salary, along with the UConn Huskies' Geno Auriemma and the South Carolina Gamecocks' Dawn Staley.
