Texas women's basketball head coach Vic Schaefer has agreed to a three-year contract extension that spans through the 2029-30 season, multiple media outlets reported on Saturday.

The Texas Board of Regents will be asked to approve the new deal for Schaefer. He is expected to receive slight raises for the three additional seasons, with the final year resulting in a salary of $2.6 million, per the Austin-American Statesman.

Schaefer, 63, replaced the dismissed Karen Aston in 2020 and agreed to a seven-year contract worth $13.8 million.

He holds a 134-34 record during his four-plus seasons with the Longhorns, including a 25-2 overall mark (11-1 record in Southeastern Conference play) this season.

Schaefer posted an 80-110 record in seven seasons at Sam Houston (1990-97) and a 221-62 mark in eight campaigns at Mississippi State (2012-20).
