Missouri coach Gary Pinkel and the university are close to agreeing on a contract extension. Missouri spokesman Chad Moller says an agreement is being finalized but a deal is not complete. ESPN.com reported Friday the extension would raise Pinkel's salary to about $2.5 million. Pinkel's contract, re-negotiated last December, guaranteed $1.85 million per year through 2012.
