TULSA – In addition to participating in conference alignment discussions, Oklahoma's Board of Regents voted unanimously Monday to extend the contracts of athletic director Joe Castiglione and football coach Bob Stoops by three years.

“It's very important at this moment in time that we affirm our appreciation of both of them and our confidence in both of them,” OU president David Boren said during the tail-end of the meeting, just before both contracts were approved.

Stoops is now under contract through 2018, with the final three years of his deal topping out at $5.15 million a year. He is set to make $4.875 million this year, including a one-time $800,000 bonus paid in January. He'll make between $4.55 million and $4.95 million from 2012-15, going over the $5 million mark in those extended years thanks to gradual $200,000 bumps in his annual stay bonuses.

The Sooners are 2-0 this season, including last weekend's big road victory at then-No. 5 Florida State. Stoops, in his 13th season at OU, has a 131-31 record with seven Big 12 titles and one national championship.
