Indiana has reached a new eight-year contract with Curt Cignetti that will make him one of the highest-paid football coaches in the FBS with an annual average salary of about $11.6 million, the university announced Thursday.
Cignetti guided the Hoosiers to a 11-2 record and a surprising College Football Playoff appearance in his first season at the school in 2024. This season, the No. 3 Hoosiers are 6-0 heading into Saturday's game against Michigan State.
In a video posted to Indiana's social media accounts, Cignetti said, "I couldn't be more proud to be a Hoosier, and I plan on retiring as a Hoosier.
