OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska athletic department will save about $1.4 million in contract buyout pay to Bo Pelini with the former football coach’s hiring at Youngstown State.

According to the revised payment schedule released by the athletic department Tuesday, Pelini will receive $128,009 a month from Nebraska through February 2019. That’s $21,991 less than the $150,000 a month he was owed before Youngstown hired him in December, shortly after his firing at Nebraska.

Pelini was paid $3.1 million in his final year at Nebraska. He signed a four-year contract at Youngstown for $213,894 a year.

The original total buyout of $7.9 million was reduced to $6.54 million. The Omaha World-Herald first reported the revised figures.
