​If Mike Boynton Jr. is going to get the full two-year, $7.6 million contract he agreed to as Michigan basketball’s head coach, he’s going to have to earn it.That’s because only the first year of his deal is guaranteed and there are certain criteria he’ll need to meet to get a second year, according to contract details obtained by The Detroit News through an open-records request.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBoynton, 44, will receive $3.6 million in the first year of the deal, which runs through April 30, 2027.
