Maryland football coach Mike Locksley will reportedly be paid more thanks to a contract amendment.
Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated reported the school and head coach agreed to a new amendment that will go into effect for the contract he signed last spring. While he was earning $4 million in salary, he will now make an average of $6.1 million annually over the five-year deal.
The contract runs through the 2027 campaign, although it will be extended by one season if Maryland wins seven or more games in 2023.
Maryland hired him as its head coach ahead of the 2019 season after he was the offensive coordinator for Alabama.
