Mark Dantonio's contract now runs until 2024, thanks to an extension triggered in his contract.

From mlive.com:

EAST LANSING - Michigan State football coach Mark Dantonio's contract includes a rolling six-year term that is scheduled to be extended annually by an additional year.

Although Dantonio was recently accused in an ESPN report of mishandling sexual assault complaints against his players, interim athletic director Bill Beekman said there was no discussion of the contract not being extended again.

The annual one-year extension, which was approved unanimously by the Michigan State Board of Trustees without discussion during a meeting Friday morning, keeps Dantonio under contract through Jan. 14, 2024. Dantonio, who has an overall record of 100-45 in 11 seasons with the Spartans, signed his current contract in 2016 and this is the second year it has been extended.

Bold play. We'll see how this plays out.
