Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham has signed a new five-year contract that will average nearly $7.5 million over the course of the deal, sources told ESPN on Saturday.
The deal prioritized resources for the staff, as the salary pool increases to $11 million, which puts it near the top of the Big 12.
The extension takes Dillingham out of the conversation for the Michigan job. He had been in the top group of candidates considered for it.
The deal remains for five years, as longer ones aren't allowed by Arizona state law, but there are incentives to extend the contract up to 10 years.
