He is one of the highest paid at around $1 million. Article linked says TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle ($1.4 million) and Florida coach Kevin O'Sullivan ($1.25 million) are the highest.

Louisville was a below .500 team before hiring McDonnell, under McDonnell 509-203 (.702). McDonnell has won 4 Big East titles, 1 American Athletic title, and 3 ACC titles in his 11 years. He has taken UofL to 7 Super Regionals and 4 College World Series.

Louisville has spent money on the program and hired the right coach. And not really a Southern team (yeah, 265 miles south of ND) and they don't seem to have an issue playing in the big bad ACC.

All of ND's disadvantages have been discussed, but I think it can be done



He gets some good local HS talent also.

Louisville was always a baseball hot bed before being better known for basketball. The high schools in the southwest part of Jefferson county were always loaded with talent but UL never capitalized on them until they started paying some big time money to coaches. People are mostly blue collar and really support their baseball teams. McDonnell is a real hero in that area.

I think Corbin at Vandy makes over $2 million *
