Description
Indiana University and IU head coach Curt Cignetti have agreed to terms on a new eight-year contract.
The contract will have an average compensation of $8 million and an annual $1 million retention bonus, university officials said.
The new contract will run through Nov. 30, 2032.
“Since arriving on campus, Coach Cignetti has been the architect of one of college football’s greatest turnarounds and has shown the world that IU is also a football school,” said Pamela Whitten, IU president. “Coach Cignetti exemplifies IU's goal to win in all that we do. The success he has brought to Indiana football is shining a light on all that is amazing about Indiana University. We are excited that Coach Cignetti and his wonderful family will be a part of the Hoosier Nation for many years to come."
