Nebraska Volleyball Head Coach John Cook Gets A Raise & Extension

The Nebraska Athletic Department and Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst announced a new contract for Nebraska Volleyball Head Coach John Cook on Wednesday.

Cook, who's team is coming off his third National Championship in 2015, signs a new contract extension that keeps him till 2021 at Nebraska. Consequently, Cook also gets a bump in pay, giving him a raise to $600,000 annually. That is a 50% raise for Cook, who was making $400,000 annually in a deal that was the second-highest salary for a Women's sport coach at Nebraska. Cook's pay had been dwarfed by the near $700,000 that Connie Yori made as Women's Basketball Head Coach.
