It's not news, but it's formal now: Oregon State head coach Gary Andersen signed his six-year deal last week, and The Tribune has received a copy to share.

The $16.5 million deal runs through February 2021, with Andersen due to earn $2.45 million in Year One and $2.95 million in Year Six.

OSU will pay Wisconsin $3 million to cover Andersen's buyout fee, and owe Andersen the full amount of his deal if he is terminated without cause, until he is employed elsewhere.

For Andersen to leave for another Pac-12 school or the NFL, he must pay OSU between $2.5 million (in Year One) and $3 million (in Year One). To leave for any other job, he'd owe between $2 million and $2.5 million.

Other incentives include:

• Up to $50,000 for moving expenses

• For an eight-win season: $100,000. For a nine-win season: $150,000. For a 10-win season: $200,000

• For beating Oregon: $50,000

• For participating in the Pac-12 Conference Championship Game: $50,000

For participating in an Access or College Football Playoff Bowl Game: $100,000

• For paid season ticket sales over 23,000/year: 5 percent of the revenue

• For being Pac-12 Coach of the Year: $25,000. For being National Coach of the Year: $50,000

• Academic Progress Rate in the top 6 of the Pac-12: $35,000. APR in the top 2 of the Pac-12: $50,000

• Tickets to games "in the amounts and manner provided for by Athletic Department policies."

• Up to six seats for guests on team charters to games.

• A full membership to Corvallis Country Club

• Use of two courtesy vehicles

Andersen's contract also provides win incentives for his staff that mirror his own. For instance, if OSU has a nine-win season, Andersen receives $150,000 and his staff splits an additional $150,000.

Andersen's assistants, who include 2014 Utah assistants Kalani Sitake and Ilaisa Tuiaki, receive 1/2-month's salary for each year in which the team wins six games and loses a bowl game; one month's salary for six wins and a bowl win; one month's salary for seven or more wins and participation in a non-Access or Playoff bowl; one and 1/2 month's salary for participation in a non-Access or Playoff bowl; two months' salary for winning an Access or Playoff bowl.

The Tribune also received the contracts of Sitake and Tuiaki.

Sitake signed a three-year deal in February for $730,000 per year. His final offer from the U. was three years at $750,000 per year with bonuses and incentives that could make it worth $800,000. Note that Sitake's bonuses at OSU are provisions in Andersen's deal.

Tuiaki signed a two-year deal for $250,000 per year, a raise from the $175,000 he was receiving at the U.
