Matt Rhule Earns Hefty Bonus as Nebraska Becomes Bowl Eligible

Nebraska’s 28-21 win over Northwestern made the Cornhuskers bowl eligible and triggered a $150,000 bonus for head coach Matt Rhule, per his contract. Rhule, who earns $8.5 million annually, has now led Nebraska to consecutive bowl appearances for the first time since 2015. The Cornhuskers improved to 6-2 (3-2 Big Ten) and 18-15 overall under his leadership.
