Penn State football coach James Franklin has received a contract extension.
The deal was approved by the school’s board of trustees’ Committee on Compensation during a conference call Friday.
The trustees characterized it as an “amended” contract and approved it unanimously.
Length and terms were not immediately available, but are scheduled to be announced in a press release later today.
Franklin’s original six-year contract, signed when he was hired away from Vanderbilt in 2014, was scheduled to pay him $4.6 million in 2017.
Penn State went 25-15 during Franklin’s first three seasons as coach and won the school’s first outright Big Ten title since 1994 in 2016, when it finished 11-3.
