Maryland football coach Mike Locksley agreed to a contract amendment that will increase his salary to an average of $6.1 million a year over the duration of his five-year deal, sources tell Sports Illustrated.
Locksley had been earning $4 million in salary after signing a new contract last spring.
The new contract starts at $5.5 million in salary and increases $300,000 each year. The deal runs through the 2027 season but will be extended by a year if the Terps win at least seven games this season.
