If Fox departs before the contract\u2019s end date, he will owe UK $50,000 in liquidated damages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">His postseason incentives remain unchanged, including $20,000 for an NCAA Sweet 16 berth, $30,000 for an Elite Eight, $50,000 for a Final Four, and $100,000 for a national championship. SEC regular-season and tournament titles would add $30,000 and $20,000, respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Fox\u2019s resume includes head coaching stints at Nevada, Georgia, and California, where he won 324 games, four regular-season conference titles, and five NCAA Tournament appearances. He spent last season as Georgetown\u2019s Director of Student-Athlete Relations and NIL Partnerships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">With Fox returning for another season, it\u2019s worth noting that Pope credits him for giving him his first coaching job back in 2009, and now, the two will be reunited on Kentucky\u2019s bench for at least one more year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mark Fox is sticking around in Lexington, and he\u2019s getting a nice raise to do it.
