West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins will return to the sideline next season after using an anti-gay slur in a radio interview this week but will take a pay cut and serve a three-game suspension.

The university announced on Wednesday that Huggins will sign an agreement that includes a $1m salary reduction (from $4.2m to $3.2m), the three-game suspension and sensitivity training. In addition, his contract will be amended from a multi-year agreement to a year-by-year deal.
