Erstad agrees to extension
Erstad agreed this summer to a 5 percent raise and one-year extension to his contract, according to documents obtained by The World-Herald through a public records request.

Erstad, who’s entering his sixth year at NU, will make $217,308 in 2017. He’s under contract until June 30, 2021.

It is considered standard practice in major college sports for coaches to have at least a five-year deal — to maintain stability in recruiting. Erstad has accepted four separate one-year contract extensions dating back to 2013, all of which were signed and approved by Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst.

Nebraska has a 176-119 record (.597) in Erstad’s five years. The Huskers reached an NCAA regional for the second time in three seasons last June.

The move seems more procedural than it does an endorsement of the team's results.

Wow... Just wow. I'd say I need to take a break from Husker baseball for awhile, but I know I'd be lying. I'll be back next spring, pulling what little hair I have left out of my head when Darrin thinks its a great idea to sac bunt in the 1st inning of a scoreless game with a guy on 1st and 2nd and our cleanup hitter up to bat.
