The College Football Playoff field was unveiled last weekend, making the 12 coaches of the teams playing in the newly expanded bracket more wealthy. Every college coach has incentives built into their respective contracts that reward winning and advancing in the CFP, with some getting more money than others.

Arizona State was projected to finish last in the Big 12 media poll and officially completed the worst-to-first turnaround by knocking off Iowa State in the conference title game last weekend. According to USA Today data, Sun Devils’ coach Kenny Dillingham received $395,000 for appearing in the Big 12 title game and another $395,000 for winning it.

Dillingham’ salary of $3.9 million was among the lowest in the Big 12 behind Cincinnati’s Scott Satterfield and Arizona’s Brent Brennan, but he has the opportunity to earn of just over $5.3 million in bonuses.

SMU and Notre Dame are private institutions, so coach contract info is not available to the public. Penn State revised coach James Franklin’s his contract advised to address the 12-team CFP on Nov. 29, but exact amounts have not been disclosed.
