Ball State joined Arizona State, Arkansas State, Cal State Fullerton, and Texas as the only schools to produce two players selected in the 1st two rounds of the MLB draft this year. Kolbrin Vitek was selected as the 20th pick in the 1st round by the Boston Red Sox, and pitcher Perci Garner was the Phillies' selection in the 2nd round. Beals spent eight years as head coach at Ball State. Beals' immediate predecessor at Ball State was hired away by the University of Michigan.

If they are being considered for a job at a "bigger" school, give them a pay raise. Akron is now paying our men's soccer coach the most in the country, because he was about to be hired away by either Clemson or Indiana. We gave our WBB coach a significant pay raise because she was a finalist for the same position at Houston. When other coaches in minor sports are successful enough to be considered by the big boys, it follows logically that they are probably deserving of a better salary. It doesn't have to rival the football or basketball coaches, but it should be enough to send the message that your school cares enough to try and keep the coach. If you just say "good luck, we can't compete with that", you are telling them that you don't care about that program, so why would the coach want to stick around at a school where they don't care?
