Ohio State's board approved the extension on Thursday. Meyer would be under contract through the 2022 season and would earn $7.6 million in 2018, making him the Big Ten's highest-paid coach and the third highest in college football behind only Clemson's Dabo Swinney and Alabama's Nick Saban.
In his six seasons with the Buckeyes Meyer has an overall record of 73-8 and is 47-3 in Big Ten play. Ohio State has won two Big Ten championships and the second-best recruiting class entering 2018.
The proposed extension would raise Meyer's salary by $1.2 million.
