DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson has agreed to stay with the Panthers for another decade.

Northern Iowa spokesman Colin McDonough says Jacobson and the school have agreed to a contract extension through 2024-25.

McDonough says further details on Jacobson’s new contract will be available later this week.



Jacobson has been at Northern Iowa for nine seasons. He led the Panthers to a school-record 31 wins and the Missouri Valley tournament title this past season.

Jacobson is 197-104 with the Panthers, who have finished among the top three of the Valley in five of the last six years.
