Volleyball title nets Husker coach an extra $114,000

Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook stands to receive a six-figure bonus for the Huskers' national championship.

The athletic department's postseason bonus policy calls for Cook to be paid an extra $114,000. That's 25 percent of his base salary of more than $456,000.

Executive associate athletic director and CFO John Jentz said Tuesday the bonus would be paid "pending a successful evaluation" of Cook by the administration.

Under department policy, coaches who win national titles in sports other than football and basketball are in line for 25-percent bonuses. Head coaches in football and basketball have different structures.
