In the world of college coaching salaries these day, this isn’t a whole lot to speak of, but Arkansas coach John Pelphrey has been awarded a $45,000 a year raise.

He’s also had his deal extended by one season through 2013, so that helps.

Pelphrey’s salary will jump (hop) from $750,000 to $795,000. 

The Razorbacks went 23-12 last year and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

This coming season, Pelphrey’s Hogs will host the Jim Thorpe Classic in mid-December.

Wasn’t Jim Thorpe famous as a football player?
