Charleston Daily Mail - WVU Sports - Huggins' deal made out of back door play 
Bob Huggins signed what you might call a lifetime contract at West Virginia University. The deal the Mountaineers' basketball coach signed Friday will approach $1.6 million next season, add $100,000 annually and over 11 years figures to pay him more than $22 million.

Go ahead and try to steal Bob Huggins, Michigan
The Dagger — Tired of losing coaches to Michigan and deeply in love with Bob Huggins, West Virginia signed Bob Huggins to a ridiculously long contract. The thing lasts until Huggins's 65th birthday, which, as Mike Casazza details here, makes it a 10-year contract worth at least $20.5 million, and probably much more. Huggins actually coached his first year at WVU without having signed a formal contract. And despite having heard the same things from John Beilein and Rich Rodriguez, I do believe that Huggins is firmly committed to being a Mountaineer. Maybe this makes me a sucker.
