Ohio State's board of trustees will vote Friday on a two-year contract extension for Urban Meyer that would make him the Big Ten's highest-paid coach.
A committee of the school's board on Thursday approved the extension for a full vote Friday. Meyer would be under contract through the 2022 season and would earn $7.6 million in 2018, making him the league's highest-paid coach and the nation's third highest-paid coach behind Alabama's Nick Saban and Clemson's Dabo Swinney.
Meyer is 73-8 in six seasons at Ohio State and 47-3 in Big Ten play. He has won two league titles and the East division in every season at Ohio State.
