IMO Heller needs to prove he can repeat this kind of success before we give him a raise because we lose a couple of key pieces. Lets see how he replaces them
He very well could get an offer from a SEC/ACC school then what.I'm sure this is the kind of leverage KF hadI agree that Heller needs to get a raise but comparing his salary to KOK's is just lazy. Iowa isn't anywhere close to a baseball school, yet. I don't see how the AD could justify paying a non-revenue sport coach SEC/ACC type money right now.

I guess with the new BTN money rolling in, they could probably make him the highest paid coach in the B1G and probably not even feel a pinch in the budget.He very well could get an offer from a SEC/ACC school then what.I'm sure this is the kind of leverage KF had
They dont need to do that. Just make it big enough that it shows commitment. Both HC and assistant positions.I guess with the new BTN money rolling in, they could probably make him the highest paid coach in the B1G and probably not even feel a pinch in the budget.

The AD is going to have an extra $15-$20 million rolling in. They could easily throw 2-3% of that at Heller and not bat an eye. Not saying that's what they need to do but that they could.They dont need to do that. Just make it big enough that it shows commitment. Both HC and assistant positions.
Isn't it a little early to be drinking on a Thursday?BB DOES NOT MAKE MONEY! COULD BE PROBLEM.BUT VERY GOOD IMAGE,IMPORTANT TO PERSON WIITH GOLD.SURE HOPE RICK BACK.
No but why anyway?Hope RICK back yes.PRAY FOR SURF.Great BB year.Isn't it a little early to be drinking on a Thursday?
He's only got 2 years left on initial 6 year deal. With what he's done at Iowa and if they want it to continue then they need to lock him up. It doesn't have to be absurd like KF, but need to show recruits he's the man and will be here long-term.IMO Heller needs to prove he can repeat this kind of success before we give him a raise because we lose a couple of key pieces.

This.He's far proven he deserves a raise. 2017 was supposed to be a rebuilding year and he had 4 guys drafted.

I'm disappointed a timeline for the renovation hasn't been announced by now. Wondering if the plan now is to get the Kinnick north end zone at least mostly finished before revisiting baseball.Anyone have any renders of the upcoming banks field renovation? I saw it at the game on Saturday but can't find anything online for it. MUCH needed to go along with increased salaries for ALL the baseball coaches.

Unfortunately, yes. After Jane Meyer ****ed everything, it set the baseball timeline back and then combined with the north EZ project, it was curbedI'm disappointed a timeline for the renovation hasn't been announced by now.

Wish a big donor would step up
.25 of a the TV money for a year and its covered. Not that hard.I'm not sure that's true. Baseball has been searching for a lead donor for the project for the last year and a half. It's still going to take someone stepping up to get the project moving.

The new TV deal is expected to bring in 10-20 million more per year so lets call it $15 million.Is that ignoring the other expenses and investments that are already in the system?
Yep and add in that Iowa invested in Heller and Heller had some demands when he came in. He has exceeded expectations and has the baseball program on the national radar talk now. He is recruiting a whole new breed of athlete now, he is going after draft picks.The new TV deal is expected to bring in 10-20 million more per year so lets call it $15 million.
The North Endzone project is going to cost $90 million. Take $9 million of the new TV money over 10 years to pay for that. That is 60% of the new money.
You could double Heller's salary for 1.3% of the new TV money.
With those 2 projects you still have $5.8 million per year of new money left over to spread around. Give a chunk to the baseball renovation. Give a chunk to a stand alone wrestling facility. Give a chunk to basketball for something. Let the other sports fight over the scraps.
