five-year deal includes a "pathway" to extend to 10 years
in concert with the addition of 20 more football scholarships next season
increased commitment to staff
ASU also plans to be a full participant in revenue share
new deal is expected to give him bonus money to distribute to staff to use at his discretion, per sources, so it doesn't come from his pocket
new base salary is expected to be in the top echelon of the league
will still be significant incentives for bonuses

"ASU added more than 45% to the football operation budget in 2024 compared to 2023. The program also proactively signed offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo and defensive coordinator Brian Ward to new three-year contracts in late November to keep its top staff talent intact. Those deals will pay them an average of more than a million dollars annually, which is in the high end for Big 12 coordinator pay."

You best believe that more overall "umbrella" numbers will be presented in the near future, as they are found.
