I'd imagine that some figure could be negotiated even here at PSU. Hindy didn't make squat here and he's likely better off financially teaching elementary kids now. I don't really think athletics puts much effort into the lesser non-revenue sports. Let's face it, PSU baseball is still a financial load and if not for the Spikes, there would be no nice venue.
Ohio State made a commitment to athletics excellence several years ago and it's reaping its fruit now in all the sports. Bob Todd is a high caliber coach and the proof is in his team's success nearly every year. Ball players, given a choice over Tood or Wine, would likely choose Todd. He's proven, outstanding and an all-round class act. There is no strong fan base for baseball at PSU like there is elsewhere for baseball OR for other sports at PSU. Take a look at wresting. The fans demanded better coaching and what a great coaching coup in snatching up Cael. Because of his notoriety in the wrestling field, PSU will be #1 in a couple years. Just this week, he got the TOP USA ranked wrestler to commit. That scenario will repeat itself over and over. Think that will ever happen for baseball? Fans here fool themselves by thinking big nice venues bring in the recruits and revenue. Top quality coaching is what brings in both fans and $$. Wine has no draw. Hindy was disliked by his own department, but he had great assistants to pull in kids. In that respect, Hindy weas far more successful than Wine.
I like PSU baseball because it is an occasional cheap form of entertainment and a way to meet up with my retirement buddies. They aren't going to be a powerhouse, ever. I expect mediocrity and they is what we have and that's OK with me.
