Thanks to the football team's work in the classroom, Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher is about to get a little extra spending money.
Fisher is set to receive a one-time bonus of $150,000 following the NCAA's release of the annual Academic Progress Rate figures on Wednesday.
According to the terms of Fisher's contract with the Aggies, Fisher receives the six-figure bonus if the team's APR is 965 or higher. In the NCAA's latest report, A&M had an APR of 967 for the 2017-18 academic year and rolling four-year period. The figure ranked in the 50th to 60th percentile for all NCAA football programs and is higher than the APR of 965 for the previous school year.
