Tennessee became the first No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Baseball Tournament to win the College World Series since Miami accomplished the feat in 1999. The Vols were also just the fourth No. 1 overall seed to reach the Finals series. The Vols’ 60 wins were the most of any program since Florida State in 2022 and the most of any national champion since Wichita State back in 1989.

Vitello has rewritten the Tennessee program record books, leading the country the last four seasons in wins (211), win percentage (.773), NCAA Tournament wins (25) and home runs (566). Following a national championship victory, Vitello was named the national Coach of the Ye

lol at these pours

Vanderbilt’s Tim Corbin makes a reported $2.45 million while LSU’s Jay Johnson comes in at $1.79 million. North Carolina’s Scott Forbes earns $1.7 million with Ole Miss skipper Mike Bianco making a reported $1.62 million. Former Texas A&M coach – and new Texas skipper – Jim Schlossnagle’s new deal with the Longhorns will pay him $2.68 million annually once his Texas A&M buyout is paid.

Am I the only one that thinks that is way too much for baseball coaches
I remember when LSU paid Mainieri $1 million
I don't think baseball coaches are worth that much

No, I just don't think that baseball generates enough revenue to sustain those type of salaries like basketball and football do.

TV money for baseball is not exactly rolling in to all these conferences and teams

Football has to sustain enough on it's own

What's next, softball coaches making $3 million
