Mark Dantonio has turned the Michigan State Spartans into a perennial heavyweight, and on Friday was rewarded with a revised contract, the school announced.
Dantonio's deal remains a rollover contract through 2020, but he received a $400,000 increase in base salary to $2.4 million. His contingent annual bonus jumped from $286,000 to $700,000 with a one-time $4.3 million contingent annual bonus if he remains in his post through Jan. 15, 2020.
Under the new contract, Dantonio's annual pay increases from $3.67 million to $4.3 million.
