> Inks a new contract that will stretch to at least 2018. Thanks big  blue.

According to the ESPN Big 10 blog, the new contract goes through
the 2020 season.  The old one went through the 2015 season, so
he was extended by five years, which in the coaching business is
a pretty long time.  

But another way of looking at is that since Pat was born on December
2, 1974, this contract only goes until around his 46th birthday. :-)
