Report: Boise State's Spencer Danielson gets 5-year deal
Boise State coach Spencer Danielson finalized a new five-year, $11 million contract after leading the Broncos to the College Football Playoff last season, ESPN reported Tuesday.
The average annual value of $2.2 million reportedly doubles the salary Danielson earned in his first full season running the program in 2024.

Danielson, 36, guided the Broncos to a Mountain West Conference title and finished 12-2 following a 31-14 loss in the CFP to Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31. He was named the MWC Coach of the Year.
Danielson is 15-3 overall, including his tenure as Boise State's interim coach in late 2023 following the firing of Andy Avalos after a 5-5 start that season.
His new deal will start at $2 million per year and increase by $100,000 each year during the five-year term. The only Mountain West coach who earns more annually is UNLV's Dan Mullen at $3.5 million for 2025.
Danielson has been coaching at Boise State since 2017 when he arrived as a graduate assistant. He served as the defensive coordinator from 2021-23.

Oregon motivated by College Football Playoff loss to Ohio State
And lost by 46. That was Lanning's first game at Oregon in 2022, a brutal loss at the hands of Georgia that can only be eclipsed by the brutal loss at the hands of eventual national champion Ohio State in last year's Rose Bowl College Football Playoff quarterfinal -- as the nation's No.1 team and national title favorite. But ignore those bookend beatdowns, there's a bigger picture here. "The process works," Lanning said on the dais at Big Ten Media Days, throwing talking points chum to the masses. "We're close." This, of course, means next to nothing in the coaching world of "you're the last thing you put on tape." So I got Lanning away from the stage Wednesday, and asked what exactly does doubling down mean? Oregon has won 35 games in his three seasons, and last year won the conference championship in its first season in the Big Ten. The Ducks have hit nearly every significant metric of growth under Lanning, from elite recruiting, to a winning record vs. ranked teams, to sitting on top of the college football world for nearly two months. MAN WITH PLAN: Oregon's Lanning pitches playoff that ends Jan. 1 ABSOLUTE POWER: Big Ten, SEC fight to shape College Football Playoff So what in the name of Dan Fouts does doubling down mean? "We've had a lot of success, and I really attribute that to our growth mindset," Lanning said. "Our DNA mindset of who we are." Wait, what? So I got annoyed with the nothing answer, and Lanning got annoyed at me -- and the next thing you know, Kirby Smart arrived. And by Kirby Smart, I mean the aura of the best coach in college football and Lanning's mentor. And it went about like what you'd think. "Doubling down is continuing to work your ass off at practice," Lanning said. "Doubling down is continuing to run when your body tells you 'no.' Doubling down is getting necessary sleep. It's focusing intently on all those pieces and more. All the time." Hallelujah, now we're getting somewhere. There's a reason Lanning and three Oregon players who attended Big Ten media days were peppered with questions about the loss to Ohio State, and the impact moving forward. And it's not because of the hoard of swooning Ohio State media endlessly reliving Scarlet and Gray glory. When you fail so spectacularly on the biggest stage of all, there must be a complete deconstruction of the disaster. It's not simply losing to a better team, which Ohio State was on that day. It's how did it fall apart so quickly, and how was the preparation so ineffective? How was an Oregon team built for this moment so out of its element? POWER RANKINGS: Big Ten starts with Penn State, Ohio State on top Ohio State scored on the third play of the game. Ohio State's first two scoring drives took all of six plays. Ohio State led by 31 midway through the second quarter, and Oregon looked a whole lot like the Ducks team that was dismantled in Lanning's first game against Georgia. Outcoached, outplayed, outclassed. So yeah, it's a fair question to ask how that Rose Bowl loss translates to 2025, especially considering this talented Oregon team has gone from a record-setting quarterback (Dillon Gabriel) with 63 career starts, to one (Dante Moore) with five. You don't grind for three years on a buildout, painstakingly changing everything about a program and molding it into what Nick taught Kirby and Kirby taught you, and ignore the elephant in the room. "A lot of work, man, a lot of it," said Oregon linebacker Bryce Boettcher, a two-sport athlete who returned for his senior season instead of playing professional baseball. He hasn't forgotten the suddenness of what happened in Pasadena on New Year's Day. Why in the world would he? "It drives you," Boettcher continued. "It's hard to explain, the way it ended. That's a problem. That's not something you ever forget." And that's where Lanning tangibly doubled down on what he knows works. He protected his roster from key transfer portal defections, and added a handful of critical pieces (starting OTs Isaiah World and Alex Harkey, RB Makhi Hughes) to solidify the team around Moore. He went from taking a small group of players on a leadership retreat, to taking 35. Because more is better when adversity hits, and because good teams are led by coaches. Great teams are led by players. Great teams that can withstand giving up a touchdown on the third play of the Rose Bowl, and not crawl into a fetal position at the thought of it all. A great, player-led team goes on the road this year in the Big Ten, and isn't impacted by a whiteout at Penn State, or a 3,000-mile trip to Piscataway, New Jersey. Because who among us wouldn't travel three time zones to reach lovely Piscataway? A great, player-led team isn't concerned with anything but doubling down and completing the buildout. "What happened last year has nothing to do with the future," Lanning said. Neither do the bookend beatdowns. But they're all part of the bigger picture.

Big Ten, SEC debate College Football Playoff amid power struggle
Which tracks about just how you think it would in Sin City, driving directly into the theater of the absurd. "I'm not going to put any deadline on it," Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti said Tuesday of negotiations for the new CFP format, while opening Big Ten Media Days at Mandalay Bay Resort. I know this is going to shock you, but SEC commissioner Greg Sankey made it clear last week during SEC Media Days that, "We have a deadline of Dec. 1." Just when you thought the great College Football Playoff format debate couldn't devolve to more ridiculous levels, Indiana coach Curt Cignetti entered the chat and changed everything. Forget about the Big Ten and its desired 16-team format that focuses on automatic qualifiers (four each for the Big Ten and SEC) and the need for CFP play-in games during championship week. Forget about the SEC and its desire for 11 at-large selections of the 16, based heavily on strength of schedule. Cignetti wants everyone to know that the CFP selection committee has too much power in the process. The very committee that last year selected his 11-win team - with one win against a team with a winning record - to the exclusive party. The same guy who, when asked Tuesday about Indiana dropping a non-conference game against big, bad Virginia for a Championship Subdivision directional school, responded with, "We figured we'd just adopt the SEC scheduling philosophy." I swear I'm not making this up. SCHEDULE DEBATE: Indiana coach fires hot at SEC after dropping Virginia POWER RANKINGS: Where the Big Ten teams stack from first to worst But at this point, nothing should be surprising in this ever-more-absurd cock walk. Each ego-driven, billion dollar conference trying to exert power over the other, in a blatantly awkward swinging dictator contest. The Big Ten doesn't want to be seen as the SEC's little brother. The SEC doesn't want to be pushed into a corner, and bend the knee to the conference it has dominated on the field for decades. Sankey touted the SEC's historical strength of schedule in defense of 11 at-large selections. Winning 14 national titles since 2000 doesn't hurt, either. Petitti responded by declaring the Big Ten played in eight of the 11 CFP games in 2024, had the four most viewed television games on the season and seven of the top 10. Then he dropped the ultimate "scoreboard" hammer: "We just stand by what we do in the Big Ten. I think the national results have shown the last couple of seasons." Translation: the Big Ten has won the last two national titles. The SEC has done ... what exactly? There's nothing logical about this public spat, nothing tangible that can be easily negotiated with clear minds or paid off with more money -- which a 16-team CFP most certainly brings. This is about superiority and inferiority, and where the SEC and Big Ten fit. No matter the collateral damage. Imagine you're Rich Clark, executive director of the College Football Playoff. A distinguished 38-year career in the Air Force, retired as a Lieutenant General -- the second-highest general officer rank. You're minding your own business at Big Ten media days, sitting quietly in the back of the large ballroom when some schlub who just picked up his first power conference coaching job starts throwing darts at your committee. A committee the SEC and Big Ten played a critical role in creating and developing, and growing into the singular, insular monster it has become. So I asked this titan of service to his country, and frankly, to the Big Ten and SEC and every other college football conference, what it was like to watch Cignetti kneecap his committee. Was it difficult to watch? "Yeah," Clark said, smiling wide -- and then he stopped himself. Because like all military personnel, he knows there's oder and there's consequences for going outside it. "The committee selected Indiana," Clark continued, "And I think it was the right decision, too." Would you look at that, a lesson in swallowing ego and pride for the greater good. No swinging dictators necessary. Matt Hayes is the senior national college football writer for USA TODAY Sports Network. Follow him on X at @MattHayesCFB.

College Football Playoff's next Indiana is difficult team to find
The Indianapolis Star took "a pretty big leap" while predicting an 8-4 regular season for the Hoosiers. Another Big Ten newspaper of record, the Omaha World-Herald, surmised a "bowl bid is not out of the question," while projecting 6-6. Indiana's accommodating schedule aided its thrill ride, but even knowing that schedule, who foresaw the Hoosiers smashing Nebraska, handling a Michigan team that later beat Alabama, and securing playoff viability at 11-1? So, when trying to pinpoint the next Indiana, it becomes an injustice to the 2024 Hoosiers to include any preseason Top 25 team. How to find next Indiana for College Football Playoff Illinois attracts comparisons to the 2024 Hoosiers, as basketball-leaning Big Ten schools without a history of football greatness. But, Illinois returns most of its starters from a 10-win team. Expectations are too great and too reasonable to earmark the Illini as the next Indiana. Like Illinois, Texas Tech could pursue the program's first playoff appearance, but the Red Raiders don't emulate 2024 Indiana. The Hoosiers assembled their playoff squad from the transfer portal's bargain rack. Texas Tech launched an expensive player-buying campaign fueled by billionaire booster Cody Campbell. Hardly comparable. After putting aside playoff hopefuls like Illinois and Texas Tech, what's left? Teams like UCLA, California and West Virginia are ultimate longshots, built from the portal's fires. Hear me, I'm not suggesting those teams as likely playoff contenders, but, that's sort of the point, isn't it? The ultimate dark horse, Indiana stunningly crafted a warp-speed turnabout with the help of 31 transfers, a cocksure coach in Cignetti, and a favorable schedule, of which they took full advantage. UCLA, Cal and West Virginia each brought in more than 30 transfers apiece. Each has an over/under of 5 1/2 victories. That's Indiana territory. The Bruins made one of the offseason's biggest acquisitions by plundering a quarterback, Nico Iamaleava, who's a former five-star recruit. He started a playoff game last season for Tennessee. UCLA, fresh off a 5-7 finish in its Big Ten debut, will endure a schedule that includes Big Ten front-runners Ohio State and Penn State, plus a non-conference tilt against Utah. Iamaleava's arrival provides hope for improvement, but it's hard to see that schedule as a recipe toward being the next Indiana. What, then, about California? The Bears nabbed former Ohio State backup Devin Brown as a transfer quarterback. Cal, which hasn't won more than eight games since 2008, will avoid Clemson and Miami, two ACC favorites. The schedule, though, includes six road games and a matchup with SMU, a playoff qualifier from last year. That's enough to prevent Cal from becoming the next Indiana. West Virginia overhauled its roster with 52 transfers after hiring Rich Rodriguez for a homecoming. It would be more appropriate to view the Mountaineers, though, through the lens of 2024 Arizona State. The Sun Devils won the Big 12 championship after the media picked them to finish last in the conference. In the unpredictable Big 12, any number of teams could ascend and claim the auto-bid entry to the playoff. Missouri profiles as a playoff sleeper, after the media picked it to finish 12th in the SEC. The Tigers secured a fine collection of portal prizes, including former Penn State backup quarterback Beau Pribula. Missouri's accommodating schedule positions it to exceed its Vegas over/under of 7 1/2 wins. But, the Tigers won 21 games the past two seasons. They've been too good recently to aptly compare to Indiana. POWER RANKINGS: Where the Big Ten teams stack from first to worst DEAD PLAN: SEC suffocates the Big Ten's plan to rig playoff Would next Indiana come from Big Ten? As I search for the next Indiana, I circle back to the Big Ten. The conference is so big that teams only play half the membership, and there's no requirement to play a Power Four non-conference opponent. That's a breeding ground for a fortunate schedule draw. Consider Maryland. The Terrapins won't play a non-conference Power Four foe, and they avoid Ohio State, Penn State and Oregon. Expectations remain low. Vegas sets the over/under at 4 1/2 wins. Maryland likely will start several transfers after finishing 4-8 last season, and four-star freshman Malik Washington projects as the starting quarterback. Maryland cashing in on a favorable schedule to the extent it could make the playoff sounds highly improbable. When trying to unearth an Indiana sequel, that's the assignment. If the idea doesn't sound absurd, then that team doesn't count as the next Indiana. Blake Toppmeyer is the USA TODAY Network's national college football columnist.
