Curt Cignetti’s Jaw-Dropping Raise Sparks Debate: Is Indiana Football’s Pay Finally Matching Its Ambition?
It’s fair to say that Curt Cignetti is well-compensated. And with his latest raise, he is now better compensated than all but one coach in college football.
On the heels of Indiana’s first national championship, Cignetti, who signed a long-term extension during the season, is set to make more than $13 million in 2026, according to The Daily Hoosier. The $13.025 million salary figure is a massive bump from the reported $8.3 million he made in 2025, and it is also unofficially the second-highest in the country, behind only Georgia’s Kirby Smart.
