Maryland baseball coach John Szefc received nearly a 60 percent boost in base salary in the new five-year contract he signed last week.
According to a copy of the contract obtained by The Baltimore Sun through a Maryland Public Information Act request, Szefc's current deal is for $251,000 annually.
His previous deal, which was redone after Szefc led the Terps to the NCAA tournament in 2014, included a base salary $160,000.
The new contract was signed on June 19, around the time Szefc's name had surfaced as a leading candidate for a vacancy at Clemson.
Szefc led the Terps to their second straight appearance in the NCAA Super Regionals. Maryland, which set a school record with 42 wins, lost to Virginia for the second straight year in that round. The Cavaliers went on to win their first NCAA College World Series title.
In Szefc's previous contract, which replaced the one he signed when he took over the program in 2013, as well as in his current deal, he receives an automatic 8 percent increase if the Terps make the NCAA tournament.
The bonus structure for each of Szefc's contract remains virtually untouched.
Szefc gets $7,500 for the Terps winning the Big Ten Conference regular-season title and $20,000 for winning the Big Ten tournament. Maryland lost in the tournament final to Michigan and finished behind Illinois and Iowa in the regular season in 2015.
He also receives $10,000 for the Terps making the NCAA tournament, $15,000 by advancing to the Super Regionals, $25,000 for getting to the College World Series and $50, 000 for his team winning the World Series.
The new contract for Szefc did not get nearly as much attention as the three-year extension agreed to recently by Terps football coach Randy Edsall.
According to Edsall's contract, he received a $71,000 raise to bring his current deal up to $2.1 million per year. It represented less than a 3 percent increase.
Edsall will receive around a $400,000 bump beginning with the 2017 season. If Maryland decides to buy out following the 2016 season, he will receive $500,000.
