To some non-baseball stuff:

• Todd Graham got a small extension and raise at ASU. He's the 5th most highly paid coach in the conference, trailing Steve Sarkisian, Chris Petersen, Jim Mora, and David Shaw (in that order).
• Stanford put out this piece about how great they are or something, but Ivan Maisel pulled something interesting from it:

Money stat by @StanfordSports Winston Shi: from 2008-12, @StanfordFball has signed 102 recruits; @AlabamaFTBL has signed 135.

The kind of roster turnover Alabama has to maintain to sign that many recruits is borderline sickening. Every school does this to some degree, but none can compete with the ruthlessness with which it's done in the SEC. Student athletes are sold (or bought, if you will) the idea of going to those schools and playing in the SEC spotlight, but what they aren't told is clear: produce or get the hell out. Whether by hook or by crook, if they sign you to a scholarship and you don't live up to the expectations they had for you they're going to find a way to get you off of their books and bring in another full class of guys right behind you.
