The University of Texas at Austin's head honcho just landed himself a fresh payday.

Longhorns' Head Football Coach Steve Sarkisian has restructured his contract to stay put in Austin until the end of 2031, with a chunky 3.85% dpay raise to boot, that'll net him $12.3 million per year by the end of his current tenure.

With his performance incentives staying where they are, Sark will have the chance to add a $250,000 bonus if the Longhorns make the College Football Playoffs, another $250,000 with each win, and if he can win it all, he'll see a $1.25 million bump!
