Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham’s contract extension can be approved Thursday in an Arizona Board of Regents meeting, and the details of the new deal were revealed in a public posting of the special session.
Dillingham’s salary will increase from $4.1 million to $5.8 million, an amount expected to be in the top third of the Big 12. He earned the new deal after leading ASU football (11-3) to a College Football Playoff appearance in his second season on the job.
