As of today, Tony Bennett is set to remain at Virginia for the remainder of the decade.
The Cavaliers announced the contract extension for Bennett in a press release on Thursday. The new deal will keep him in Charlottesville through April 30th, 2030. If he is still head coach of the program by April 30th, 2026, though, it will trigger an automatic one-year rollover to 2031.
“Tony Bennett is foundational to our efforts to compete for championships in this new model of college athletics,” AD Carla Williams wrote in the release. “He embodies everything important to the University of Virginia and Virginia Athletics. It’s an honor to work with him and we’re thrilled about the future of men’s basketball under his leadership.”
“I love UVA and it has always been a special place for me and my family,” added Bennett himself. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with Carla Williams and Jim Ryan and to represent the University of Virginia. My staff and I look forward to adapting to the new landscape of college athletics. We will continue to build one of the best basketball programs on and off the court without compromising the values of our university. Go Hoos!”
