Fresno State is 5-2 overall and 4-0 in the Mountain West Conference with a date Saturday against UNLV – and every victory from here comes with a price tag.
Under terms of coach Jeff Tedford’s contract, a sixth regular-season win triggers a $100,000 bonus. If the Bulldogs land on seven victories it is $150,000, eight is $200,000, nine $250,000 and 10 it’s $300,000.
Fresno State can’t get to 11 regular-season wins this season, but if it does in the future the bonus is $400,000.
Fresno State coach Jeff Tedford has turned around the Bulldogs’ football program and with one more victory can start to collect on on-field performance bonuses in his contract.
