Per ESPN:
After leading Indiana to the national title, coach Curt Cignetti has finalized a contract with the school that will pay him an average of $13.2 million through the 2033 season, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The length of Cignetti's deal does not change, but his salary will increase from $11.6 million annually.
Indiana announced a new deal for Cignetti in October, but it included a "good market faith review" that activated if the Hoosiers reached the College Football Playoff semifinal, which they after a Jan. 1 win over Alabama in the Rose Bowl. The review required the sides to meet within 120 days after the CFP semifinal and adjust Cignetti's salary to rank no less than third among active head coaches, according to the term sheet.
The $13.2 million annual salary places Cignetti alongside Georgia's Kirby Smart and new LSU coach Lane Kiffin as the only coaches earning at least $13 million nationally. Cignetti's contract has been revised three times in two seasons, as he arrived in late 2023 with a six-year, $27 million deal.
