Nebraska football contracts: Bill Busch's updated terms released as interim defensive coordinator

Bill Busch contract terms released
Meanwhile, interim defensive coordinator Bill Busch will make an extra $15,700 per month, starting on Sept. 18. Busch is currently under contract for $400,000 as Nebraska’s special teams coordinator. He replaced Erik Chinander, who was paid $850,000 annually by Nebraska.
Unlike Joseph, Busch does not have specific bonus terms on his new agreement. Instead, any bonus Busch would receive would be in line with what his previous agreement already had in place. The only difference is the bonus would be pro-rated based on the additional $15,700 per month stipend that would be added to his $400,000 annual salary.

NU also released the updated terms for analyst Joey Connors, who will make an additional $2,070 per month in his new role as special teams coordinator. Connors’s official salary information is not listed on the 2022-23 NU budget since he was a later hire.
Meanwhile, Mike Cassano, who was elevated to replace Joseph as Nebraska’s receivers coach, will receive a monthly stipend of $4,595 in addition to his base wage of $117,299.
Both Connors and Cassano can also now be elevated to the road as recruiters to replace Chinander and fired head coach Scott Frost. The Huskers have another bye weekend on Oct. 22.
