After second national championship in three years, Cook gets a raise

Now Moos has showed Cook how he feels about the job Cook's doing, with a raise for the four-time national champion coach.

Cook will soon be making $675,000 annually — a raise of $75,000 from last season — according to a copy of his contract obtained by the Journal Star. The contract was also extended one year and covers the next five seasons.

He’s probably the highest-paid college volleyball coach in the country, according to contracts collected by the Journal Star. The only coach who could command a similar salary is Penn State's Russ Rose — he’s got seven national titles — but Penn State is not required to release salary figures for its employees.
