Iowa announced Thursday it will extend coach Kirk Ferentz's contract through the 2020 season. School officials expect Ferentz to sign the contract Friday, before he opens his 12th season for the Hawkeyes. Ferentz, the second-longest tenured coach in the Big Ten behind Penn State's Joe Paterno, will be paid $3,675,000 annually plus a longevity bump that begins at $325,000 and increases every year.
