Who knew that today would turn into such a busy day?

  Arkansas guard Stefan Welsh gets suspended. Football coach Bobby Petrino donates $100,000 to the Razorback Foundation. And then there’s this…

  Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long and men’s golf coach Brad McMakin have each received contract extensions over the past month, according to documents released today in response to a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by The Morning News.

  Long signed an extension on June 11 that added one year to the length of his deal. His contract now runs through June 30, 2014.

  McMakin received a five-year extension and a $25,000 raise — a nice reward for McMakin leading the Razorbacks to within one hole of winning their first men’s golf national championship. The raise bumps his salary from $105,000 to $130,000.  

  Read more about their extensions, as well as Long talking about a possible new deal for Arkansas baseball coach Dave Van Horn, in Friday’s edition of The Morning News.
