EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio is getting a raise after leading the Spartans to college football's playoff.
The school announced Friday that Dantonio's annual compensation is increasing from $3.67 million to $4.3 million. His revised contract is still a six-year rollover deal.
Dantonio's team has gone 36-5 over the past three seasons with two Big Ten titles. The Spartans won the Rose Bowl at the end of the 2013 season, and they reached the national semifinals in 2015.
The school also announced that nearly $250,000 has been allocated to enhance the salaries of assistant coaches.
