Oklahoma softball coach Patty Gasso drops huge message concerning new contract

The Oklahoma Board of Regents approved a historic new contract for University of Oklahoma softball coach Patty Gasso during a Friday meeting in Tulsa.

Gasso, who has led the Sooners to four consecutive national titles, received a new deal that will average $2.05 million annually through the 2028 season, not including posssible performance bonuses.

Already the highest-paid coach in college softball, Gasso’s previous contract paid her $1.775 million for this past season and had been scheduled to pay her $1.825 million as of July 1. Instead, her compensation as of July 1 was retroactively increased to $1.9 million. It is scheduled to increase by $100,000 annually in each of the three future years.
