Arizona State extends Kenny Dillingham's contract

Arizona State, on the eve of its first appearance in the College Football Playoff, rewarded coach Kenny Dillingham with a contract extension. Sun Devils athletic director Graham Rossini announced the move Tuesday in Atlanta, where No. 4 seed Arizona State will oppose No. 5 seed Texas on Wednesday in a CFP quarterfinal game. Rossini provided no details, but multiple media outlets reported that Dillingham received a five-year contract that will land him among the best-paid coaches in the Big 12. According to ESPN, incentives could wind up making it a 10-year contract, though Arizona state law technically prohibits public university deals from running longer than five years.
