LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Brandon Schneider signed a new four-year contract with Kansas that will pay the Big 12 women's basketball coach of the year $400,000 annually. It also comes with numerous benefits and incentives through the 2025-26 season. Schneider led the Jayhawks to a fifth-place finish in the Big 12 this season after they were voted last in the league’s preseason poll. They won seven straight games earlier this season for the program’s longest streak since 1997. Their 20 wins in the regular season were their most since the 1999-2000 season. Kansas opens the Big 12 Tournament against fourth-seeded Oklahoma on Friday in Kansas City, Missouri.
