Two seasons ago, Curt Cignetti was making $427,000 per year at James Madison. One month ago, Cignetti led Indiana to a 16-0 season and the CFP Championship. Now, he's the highest paid coach in college football at $13.2M per season through 2033.

@FOS Over 40 years coaching to get this! Hard work

@FOS Is this like Back Pay?

@FOS Talk about a big come up

@FOS He is the captain of his ship

@FOS GOOD for him. While I’m an Ohio State fan I certainly rooted for Indiana after The Buckeyes were Eliminated and wish them and him NOTHING but the Best

@FOS Bobby Knight Reincarnate

@FOS First of all you have to love what you do but it ‘s undeniable that hard work and dedication pays off. Well done coach.

@FOS I wonder if he needs a chauffeur

@FOS Well deserved

@FOS I’m sure he wasn’t starving making $427k. Are these coaches deserving of multi millions per year. Pay the professors that are educating the kids!

@FOS Good for him. That dude spent a lot of years in the lower levels of college football and obviously works hard, I think this is great. Most people just get pissed about how much he gets paid, but that’s what it is. There’s not many people in the world that can do what he’s done

@FOS Here’s a question for you sport followers what would Bobby Knight be in paid today?

@FOS I wonder if Mark Cuban was involved in that amount and if he’s contributing

@FOS Secret to victory? Get many older players!

@FOS Be careful with the giant guaranteed contracts Indiana. Remember what happened to Ed Orgeron after the perfect dream season at LSU.

@FOS Best quote in sports. All I do is win, Google me!!!!

@FOS Great players make great coaches.

@FOS As he should. His value to IU is immeasurable

@FOS the land of dreams
