Nebraska athletics officials recently announced a new contract for longtime volleyball coach John Cook, but the deal includes an interesting clause related to a horse.
John Cook has been a staple in the women's college volleyball world for more than two decades. He recently landed a contract extension that ties him to the Nebraska Cornhuskers for the foreseeable future. The deal includes a considerable salary bump, but it also comes with a unique incentive. Some of the funds in the contract will be dedicated to Cook's goal of purchasing a horse.
When Troy and I talked about my contract, I proposed that instead of an annual escalating salary that some coaches do, it would mean a great deal to me if the Nebraska athletic department would consider supporting me in purchasing a horse out in central Nebraska that I've had my eye on,' Cook said in a statement.
Cook also said the horse, known as No. 415, was born and bred at the Pitzer Ranch in Ericson, Nebraska, and is a 'once-in-a-lifetime performance horse.' Cook said the retention bonus served as a creative workaround. 'Troy loved the idea and while they couldn't specifically write that into the contract, the retention bonus will be used for No. 415. I am honored that Troy was supportive of my idea and it means a lot to me,' Cook said.
