Overview

• The extension runs through 2036 and would boost Del Conte’s base pay from $2.525 million to $2.9 million in 2026 and $4.25 million by its final year.
• It retains a $250,000 annual incentive through 2031 before increasing to $475,000 and capping at $600,000 in 2036.
• A contrasting report from ClutchPoints and insider Brett McMurphy suggested an 11-year, $38.8 million deal with up to $5.5 million in incentives, but that account remains less corroborated.
• Approval by the regents at meetings Wednesday and Thursday is the last procedural step before the contract can take effect.
• Del Conte’s tenure since 2017 has included four Director’s Cups, multiple national championships and consecutive College Football Playoff appearances, achievements cited as justification for the raise.
