The top dollar was to try to entice Schlossnagle, McDonnell, or whoever else may have been in line.

That’s my point about why $1.7m is such a ridiculous number though. Like, it’s assumed that Schloss just signed the most lucrative extension ever for the sport, and he still wouldn’t be breaking $1.5m if $1.4m is remotely accurate. I wasn’t saying State can’t hire a top flight coach; I’m saying $1.7m is entirely too high a number that in no way fits into the current economy of college baseball

That being said, if State were floating something larger than $1.2m around, it’d be a pretty significant pay raise for anyone mentioned outside of Schloss, so it does seem more likely that $1-1.3m is the ballpark, which would still make the next hire one of the highest paid guys in the sport
