Per Shama:
Don’t be surprised if adjustments are made soon to the contracts of Golden Gophers men’s basketball coach Niko Medved and women’s coach Dawn Plitzuweit. The two reportedly have annual current deals paying them $3 million and $900,000 respectively.
“…We are having those (contract) conversations with both coaches,” University of Minnesota athletics director Mark Coyle told Sports Headliners on Thursday. Contract changes must be approved by President Rebecca Cunningham and the Board of Regents.
Medved became the Gophers head coach in March of 2025. He inherited a program needing a rebuild but exceeded expectations of a 16th place finish in the 18-team Big Ten. The Gophers, 8-12 in Big Ten games and 15-18 overall, were surprisingly competitive including wins over three nationally ranked teams.
Go Gophers!!
