Penn State made a major investment by hiring Matt Campbell with an eight-year, $70.5 million guaranteed contract packed with perks, including 55 hours of private jet access and two courtesy cars. He also gets big performance bonuses, automatic extensions for CFP success, and full payout protection if he’s fired without cause.
