More reports surfacing right now saying the Bo is now for sure coming to Youngstown and they are on the verge of making the announcement. Still no number on what his salary will be.
Yup....initial rumors, then denials, nothing for a while, and finally...much more concrete reports:

His deal with Nebraska means that he gets $1.8 million per year minus whatever YSU ends up paying him through the end of what his contract was with Nebraska (February 2019).
Essentially, if YSU pays Pelini roughly what former coach Eric Wolford was making (base salary of $200k in 2010, but likely a little more than that...but we'll go with 200k for easy numbers), then he gets $200k from Youngstown State and $1.6 million from Nebraska.
