WVU extends athletic director Wren Baker's contract through 2032

MORGANTOWN — WVU will not be searching for a new athletic director any time soon, as Wren Baker has reached a second contract extension with the school. The extension, which became official with Baker's signature on June 5, keeps Baker tied to the university through Dec. 31, 2032, roughly 10 years after first bringing him to Morgantown from North Texas. The second amendment adds two more years to Baker's contract, as well as increasing some of his retention incentives. WVU president Michael T. Benson announced Baker's contract extension Thursday morning on MetroNews Talkline, but it was former president E. Gordon Gee who negotiated the deal with Baker. 'He has told me he is very happy here and his wife and daughters are very happy here,' Benson said on the radio show. 'We have extended his contract. He is doing an unbelievable job. He is the new chair of the athletic directors within the Big 12. I have been on a few calls already with that group. He is very well respected.' So well respected that there had been whispers in recent months that Baker could be recruited away from WVU. His name had been associated with both Oklahoma and TCU as a potential candidate. A native of Valliant, Okla., Baker will earn $1.3 million — plus incentives and a retention bonus — this year. In the additional seven years, his salary increases $100,000 each year. In 2032, Baker will earn $2 million. Over the lifetime of the extension, Baker's base salary will reach a combined $13.2 million, an average of $1.65 million per year. His retention incentive — recorded July 1 of every year — also became more consistent. Under the previous deal, Baker earned an additional $200,000 earlier this month, but was not due another retention bonus until 2026 and then again in 2028 and 2030. Under the latest amendment, Baker will now earn a $200,000 retention bonus every July, except for 2030 and 2032, when it increases to $500,000. The retention bonus is paid to Baker as long as he remains employed at WVU as of July 1 each year. Gee completed the amendment by writing, 'I extend and amend your appointment with pleasure for the continued benefit of West Virginia University.' Baker's buyout is $1 million if he were to leave for another school this year. It drops to $800,000 in 2026 and then drops a continual $200,000 per year through 2029. From 2030-31, Baker's buyout is $100,000 per year and it becomes $0 in 2032. Baker was first hired at WVU as the school's 13th athletic director on Nov. 30, 2022 and received his first contract extension in May of 2024. His tenure at the school has covered many WVU athletic successes, but also some chaotic moments. Over his first 30 months as the school's athletic director, Baker has overseen three head coaching changes within the men's basketball program, including the forced resignation of Hall-of-Fame coach Bob Huggins. Baker also hired Rich Rodriguez as football coach after firing Neal Brown earlier this year. He hired Mark Kellogg as the women's basketball coach in 2023, after former coach Dawn Plitzuweit left after one season. Steve Sabins also became the successor to former WVU baseball coach Randy Mazey under Baker's watch. In recent days, Baker successfully extended the contracts of Kellogg, Sabins and rifle coach Jon Hammond, as well as finalizing the contract of WVU men's basketball coach Ross Hodge. 'You look at the coaches he just extended a few days ago and the hire of Rich Rod has gotten people very animated and very excited, and coach Hodge,' Benson said. 'I am very impressed with the operation and how well he is doing in terms of revenue generation and forward thinking about where we want to take the university.'

Pinnacle Financial Partners to combine with Synovus Financial Corp. into one company

Two Southern banking corporations, Pinnacle Financial Partners and Synovus Financial Corp., will combine into one company in an all-stock transaction valued at $8.6 billion. The combined company will use the Pinnacle Financial Partners and Pinnacle Bank name and brand, the two companies announced July 24 in a news release. Pinnacle's current President and CEO Terry Turner will serve as chairman of the Board of Directors, while Synovus President and CEO Kevin Blair will remain in those roles for the combined company. The deal is expected to close in early 2026. Pinnacle Financial Partners, the bank holding company, will have its corporate headquarters in Atlanta, and Pinnacle Bank's headquarters will be in Nashville. Ultimately, this will create "the highest-performing regional bank focused on the fastest-growth markets in the Southeast," according to the news release. Knox News awarded the Knoxville side of Pinnacle Financial Partners first place among midsize companies in the 2025 Top Workplaces list. 'Over the last 25 years, we have attracted extraordinary talent to a bank that closely partners with its clients, developing 'raving fans' and delivering industry-leading growth,' Turner said in the release. 'We are pleased to join forces with Synovus in a combination that prioritizes client experience and inspires associates. "By combining Pinnacle's operating model, which is anchored in a disciplined entrepreneurial spirit, with Synovus' talented team and strong presence in attractive and fast-growing Southeastern markets, we will extend our legacy of building share in the most attractive markets nationally." Shareholders in either company will have their shares converted. Synovus shareholders will own just under half of the combined company while Pinnacle shareholders will own more than half. Pinnacle Financial Partners got its start in 2000 in downtown Nashville, and has sincegrown into to the second-largest bank holding company headquartered in Tennessee, with approximately $54.8 billion in assets.

NCAA basketball tournament expansion growing more unlikely for 2025-26 season due to 'logistics'

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Any expansion of the NCAA basketball tournaments is growing more unlikely for this upcoming season, according to executives in the sport. During a speaking engagement at the National Press Club on Thursday, NCAA president Charlie Baker confirmed comments earlier this week from ACC commissioner Jim Phillips that any expansion of the men's and women's tournaments would be 'tough' to do for 2025-26. 'I think that's a reasonable statement,' Baker said. He pointed to the "logistics" involved with any expansion. The NCAA basketball selection committees — responsible, along with the basketball oversight committees, for making any expansion decision — met earlier this month where committee members learned that expansion, if approved, would most likely start in 2026-27, multiple sources with knowledge of the meeting told Yahoo Sports. The comments from Baker and Phillips further advance that notion. However, during an hour-long address to the National Press Club, Baker continued to speak in favor of expanding the tournament to 72 or 76 teams to grant access to more worthy participants, such as those left on the bubble. 'There are every year some really good teams that don't get to the tournament for a bunch of reasons,' Baker told the crowd. 'One of the reasons is we have 32 automatic qualifiers (for conference champions). I love that and think it's great and never want that to change, but that means there's only 36 slots left for everybody else. 'I don't buy the idea that some of the teams that currently get left out aren't good. I think they are. And I think that sucks,' he continued. For more than a year now, college administrators have been seriously exploring adding four or eight teams to the 68-team field, a move that likely requires the addition of another 'First Four' site. Baker pushed back against suggestions that additional revenue from TV partners is behind the NCAA and conferences' desire to expand. It is not a 'big moneymaker,' he said, and the association would only want to cover the costs of expansion with any additional revenue. The NCAA has been in negotiations with the networks, Warner Bros. Discovery and CBS, for months now. Last month, Baker told Yahoo Sports that the organization has held 'good conversations' with those partners and that any decisions for 2025-26 would need to be made by 'the middle of August.' 'The big challenge is the logistical one,' Baker said Thursday from D.C. 'The tournament has to start after conference championships are over and the selection (show) happens like two hours after the last championship ends. And (the tournament) has to finish by the Tuesday before the Masters. There's not a lot of room there.' That hasn't slowed his support for expansion. In fact, Baker mentioned recent bubble teams left out of the field like St. John's and Indiana State. 'They should have been in,' he said. Expansion is 'a way to preserve the AQs and real Cinderellas, but it's also to make sure some of the 65 best teams in the country who get left out because of the 32 AQs find their way in,' he said. Baker addressed another looming issue: athlete eligibility standards. On Thursday, as he spoke to the press club, the NCAA announced a proposed legislation change to Division II eligibility rules. The proposal would grant athletes five years to play five seasons (five-in-five) instead of the current four seasons-over-five years standard. Such a change in Division I is on the 'backburner' while the NCAA adopts a new governance model, something expected next month from the NCAA DI Board of Directors. 'I would assume at some point (five-in-five) will come up again. I don't know if we'll land there or not,' Baker said of the five-in-five eligibility proposal for Division I.
