Spurrier extends USC contract through 2015 season
South Carolina extends football coach Steve Spurrier's contract through the 2015 season after a two-year board of trustees decision. Spurrier, 54, will have four years remaining, providing recruiting stability as the team aims for another SEC title and bowl success. The Gamecocks are 10-2, with a likely Capital One Bowl appearance, and have won three straight over Clemson. He earns 3 million in 2013 with no raise in the extension, plus incentives.
