Cincinnati's Fickell agrees to $5M-per-year deal
Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell has agreed to a new contract through 2028 that will pay him $5 million per year, and the school is expected to up the football staff salary pool.
$5M places him behind Venables' $7M and Sarkisian's $5.4M among the Big 12 public schools; I feel confident enough to say that Aranda and Dykes are in this range. The $5.2M for the staff should place Cincinnati comfortably in the midrange of the Big 12.
They ain't playing around when they make their entrance, which should be the case. Props for the forward thinking by them.
