MUNCIE, Ind. — It's officially official: Mike Neu will be Ball State's football coach for the next three seasons.
The Star Press obtained a copy of Neu's two-year contract extension, which was signed on June 22, 2020. It includes a base salary of $453,000 and continues through Feb. 28, 2023. The base salary is $28,000 more than his starting salary in 2016, which has increased between $4,314 and $8,714 each season.
Since last November — before the Cardinals finished the season 5-7 (4-4 Mid-American Conference) — Ball State athletic director Beth Goetz made it clear that she planned on extending Neu's contract.
