LINCOLN, Neb.—The Nebraska football team’s appearances in the Big 12 championship game and the Holiday Bowl mean an extra quarter-million dollars for coach Bo Pelini.
Pelini’s contract calls for him to receive an extra $150,000 for taking his team to the conference title game and $100,000 for going to a bowl.
The $250,000 in performance bonuses increases his 2009 pay to more than $2 million. His base salary is $1.85 million under his contract, which runs through the 2013 season.
At 10-4, the Huskers had their best year since 2003. They are 19-8 in Pelini’s two seasons as head coach.
