The deal, which will go before the compensation committee of the school\'s board of trustees for final approval Monday, is for eight years, sources told ESPN\'s Pete Thamel.
\"Coach Campbell is, without a doubt, the right leader at the right time for Penn State Football,\" Patrick Kraft, the school\'s VP for intercollegiate athletics, said in a statement. \"He is a stellar coach with a proven track record of success and his values, character and approach to leading student-athletes to success on and off the field align perfectly with the traditions and values of Penn State.\"
