This is a nice story regarding college athletics.
Chris Ault is virtually unknown to most of the college football world. Ault serves as the head coach of the Nevada Wolfpack. He has quietly produced an outstanding program while helping his team to a top 25-ranking last season.
Ault recently received and certainly earned a two-year contact extension. But get this: he volunteered to also take a 4.8 percent pay cut. It will cost him almost $41,000. Ault reasoned that the bad state of the Nevada economy and other state workers taking their lumps prompted his decision.
Sometimes we hear about the selfishness of college coaches and players. In this case, we hear of the selflessness of Ault. I doubt if Ault is looking for praise, but I want to give the coach a virtual high-five for the sacrifice.
True, Ault probably won’t miss a meal for his salary reduction, but what a great example to his football team, his university, the state and the college football world.
