Michigan State football coach Mel Tucker on Wednesday agreed to the new contract that made headlines around college football last week, sources confirmed to ESPN's Adam Rittenberg.
Tucker signed a 10-year deal worth $95 million to remain with the Spartans, sources confirmed, becoming one of the highest paid coaches in the sport, along the way.
Tucker can thank a group of Spartans donors, who gathered to help complete the deal this month, sources said: Mat Ishbia, Steve St. Andre, Brian Mosallam and Jason Strayhorn.
"Every day I wake up feeling humbled to be the Head Football Coach at Michigan State," Tucker wrote in a letter posted on his official Twitter account.
