Utah coach Kyle Wittingham signed a five-year, six-million dollar contract extension.

Minnesota is preparing a contract extension for Tim Brewster, but not everyone is happy about it.

Mike Van Gundy is a man... with a seven-year, $15 million contract extension.

Buffalo's Turner Gill signed his contract extension with the Bulls and will be on the sidelines through 2013... or until he takes a BCS job.

Georgia Tech signed Coach of the Year Paul Johnson to a seven-year extension.

North Dakota coach Chris Mussman received a two-year extension for the Fighting Sioux.

Western Michigan has agreed to a five-year extension with Bill Cubit.

Duke has inked David Cutcliffe to a two-year extension, extending his contract through 2015.
