KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri has rewarded coach Eliah Drinkwitz a contract extension through the 2028 season after he led the Tigers to an 11-2 record and a victory over Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl. Drinkwitz’s contract was due to expire after the 2027 season. The extension that was approved by the Missouri Board of Curators is expected to include a pay increase, though the school had yet to announce the details on Sunday. Picked to finish in the middle of the SEC, the Tigers’ only losses came against Georgia and LSU. They beat rival Kansas State along with Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida and Arkansas.
