Aside from the obvious, Escobedo is one helluva steal. I think he's got that Indiana program headed in the right direction.

Indeed and especially so since they had paid his predecessor, Duane Goldman, $156,135 in 2018.  $45k less for better results.

I suspect he'd want to ensure Cunningham was paid a salary commensurate with other well paid HCs so that may come out of his salary a bit, but seemingly worth it.

Look at Terry Brands's salary as a guide and Cunningham is almost surely in the top 10 of all coaches including head coaches.  The only private school coaches not on the list above that might be above him are his boss Sanderson, Santoro, and Koll.  Half those guys have won team titles (Sanderson, Ryan, Brands).  Maybe Dresser, Smith, Bormet make more.  Suffice it to say that the likes of Terry Brands and Casey Cunningham would not be leaving for more money.  There are maybe 10 school that would even match what they are making and they already work at two of them.

Brands' new contract, obtained by the Des Moines Register, is a 7-year deal that begins July 1, 2022, and runs through June 30, 2029.

It jumps every year thereafter:

• $625,000 for the '23-24 season.
• $700,000 for '24-25.
• $725,000 for '25-26.
• $750,000 for '26-27.
• $775,000 for '27-28.
• $800,000 for '28-29.

Brands and the entire staff took a hair cut during COVID.  

"Wrestling head coach Tom Brands, who signed a new contract in February 2020 as the pandemic was about to begin, took his 15 percent cut from his July 1, 2020 salary — which increased from $190,000 to $350,000. In addition to Brands' $52,500 pay cut, he took another $30,000 budget reduction. His associates, Terry Brands and Ryan Morningstar trimmed their salaries according to the sliding scale Barta announced last summer — knocking $20,500 off Terry Brands' pay."

Absolutely. Indiana is getting better by leaps and bounds. I hope they are able to keep some of their in-state HS talent at home. IU is a great school with a beautiful campus.

Lock Haven is getting their moneys worth as well.  Being a small school,   Moore consistantly beginning to put out AA's
