The new 10-year, $32 million deal is pending final approval from the LSU Board of Supervisors, which meets Friday.
Mulkey's previous contract was scheduled to pay her an average annual amount of $2.5 million until 2029.
Mulkey took over at LSU for the '21-'22 season after a decorated coaching career at Baylor, leading the Bears to 3 National Championships (2005, 2012, 2019). She’s also been AP National Coach of the Year 3 times (2012, 2019, 2022).
