Posted Sep 16, 2019
Virginia basketball coach Tony Bennett remains fiercely committed to his program, but he's not driven by financial reward. "I have more than I need," said Bennett. Athletics director Carla Williams met with Bennett to discuss revisions to his contract that would have included a substantial raise. Bennett discussed the offer with his wife, Laurel, then declined the raise.
