To say Barry Odom increased his salary by leaving the UNLV football team would be a massive understatement.

The new Purdue coach signed a six-year contract worth a minimum of $39 million, according to details released by the school Tuesday.

After earning a base salary of $1.75 million this season with the Rebels, Odom will make at least $6 million per year in his first two seasons with the Boilermakers.

The deal includes annual raises after the first two seasons, increasing by $250,000 each year before going up to $7 million in his fifth year. In the final year of the contract, Odom’s base salary will reach $7.25 million.

Additionally, Odom could make up to $1.5 million from academic, performance and “personal incentive” bonuses.

At UNLV, he was eligible to earn $445,000 in athletic performance bonuses and there was an extra $20,000 up for grabs each season if the team met certain academic standards.
